Along similar lines, the Yasna liturgy is made up of 72 chapters in conformity to the 72 attributes of Ahura Mazda (Hormazd Yasht) andthe 72 threads that make up the holy cord (Kusti).  Significantly, the Vesperad andthe Van-didad, too were said to have 72 chapters originally.

(The Avesta is composed of Yasna (Sk. Yagna), Yasht, Visperad andthe Vedidad. The Yasna is the oldest and more aligned to the language of Rig Vedic Sanskrit. Being the compilation of Zarathushtra and his immediate followers, it is the most authoritative)
