The other legend referred to Hyat Barm, another
of Yazdezard's daughters, who was believed to have
likewise vanished from mortal sight at a place called
Koh-i-Chakmaku, not far from Yezd. Here was a
reservoir of considerable size, which received a large
surjply of water from the numerous adjoining rills.
This, together with the wall that surrounded it,
having got into a dilapidated condition through long-
neglect, was repaired, at the expense of Mr. Mervanji
Framji Panday, the same liberal gentleman who pro-
vided the funds for the erection of the buildino-s at
O
Akda. In several other directions the charity and
philanthropy of the Bombay Zoroastrians have been
extended, but we refrain from filling these pages with
matters of minor importance.
After the statement of these instances it will be
admitted that no more striking illustration need be
adduced of the deep-seated feeling of sympathy with
which the Zoroastrians regard their co-religionists in
every clime, and the bond of union that connects
them together. Separated by distance and the dis-
sociation of centuries, widely differing in language,
