| "According to the tradition Zoroaster was thirty, the time of ripe wisdom, when revelation finally came to him....It is said that Zoroaster being at a gathering met to celebrate a spring festival, went at dawn to a river to fetch water for the [[haoma]]-ceremony. He waded in to draw fro midstream; and when he returned to the bank - himself in a state of ritual purity, emerging from the pure element, water, in the freshness of spring dawn - he had a vision."<ref>Boyce, Mary. Zoroastrians: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices. Routledge, 2001. p. 19.</ref>
