three days, the soul waits beside its corpse while Rashnu
ponders his verdict on how the person has spent his
life on earth. Rashnu weights the worthiness of the
soul in golden scales so sensitive and accurate that
they do not deviate by a hair's breadth. A good person,
passing muster, is helped by a comely maiden in the
