Wishtasp-sast nask

The Wishtasp-sast or Vishtasp-sast nask was the 10th nask (volume) of the Sasanian Avesta.[1] The work is now lost, but according to later references, it contained a detailed history of Vishtaspa, an early patron of Zarathustra.[2] The Wishtasp-sast nask may, in whole or in parts, be preserved through the Wishtasp Yasht manuscripts.[3]
