Chief deity of Zoroastrianism; source of light and embodiment of good.
1Ahriman, the Evil Spirit in the dual system of Zoroaster, See Ormuzd
2Ormuzd is worshiped in the sun, the stars, and in fire.
3In the name and friendship of Ormuzd be ever shining, be very enlarged.
4It is true that Ormuzd was replaced by Allah, and Ahriman by Satan.
5The Persians called God, Ormuzd, the Greeks, Orpheus, the Egyptians, Osiris.
6But remember, the 'Zend-Avesta' promises that Ormuzd shall finally conquer and reign supreme.
7Ormuzd produced six Gods, Beneficence, Truth, Good Order, Wisdom, Riches, and Virtuous Joy.
8In the first three thousand years, Ormuzd creates and reigns triumphantly over his empire.
9Word, synonymous with Son, Wisdom; the Ormuzd of Zoroaster, 565-u.
10Ahriman, in his turn, produced six Devs, opponents of the six emanations from Ormuzd.
11Creation of Man concurred in by Ormuzd and Ahriman, 258-u.
12Creation of the World by Ormuzd and Ahriman concurrently, 258-u.
13One god, Ormuzd, was the embodiment of light and goodness.
14Ormuzd created six good spirits, and Ahriman six evil ones.
15And there was old Zoroaster saying to his Ormuzd, 'I believe thee, O God!
16And that is what the old Persians did in their doctrine of Ormuzd and Ahrimann.
