Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on the barashnum, the great Zoroastrian purification rite, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, reliable for standard identifying facts and less reliable for ritual detail specific to the closed practice, which a dedicated specialist source would need to settle. NotesWikipedia's article on the barashnum, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for the term's own Zend etymology and for Fargard 9 of the Vendidad's specific procedural prescription, standard reference facts distinct from the atlas's three existing library citations on the rite's textual basis, its purification sequence and its modern extent among Zoroastrian communities.
