Use of the term Mantra/Manthra

[edit]

Instead of formula/invocation, the article should use the term Mantra/Manthra for the following reasons:

  1. Formula or Invocation are generic terms. Within the context of the article, however, they are used to refer to the specific Avestan term mąθra. Using Mantra/Manthra makes this more clear.
  2. The translation of mąθra into Mantra/Manthra is not universally used, but it is overall the most common translation of the term.
  3. There is already a Wikipedia article that explains the Zoroastrian concept of Mantra/Manthra.
