| In the zoresterian religion, Ahoramazda has several manifestations which called Emshaspandan. The duty of these creatures as manifestation of Ahoramazda is developing of goodness. The recommendations of Ahora have been done with cooperation of these contiguous angels. The bases of this idea have been found in Veda religion so that zoresterianism give another meaning to this thought. In zoresterian religion number of this angels are six meanwhile it has been talked always as seven in whole the text. Sophisticated reading in Avesta show us that nowhere of Gat s cover this kind of creatures (Emshaspandan), but in next Avest and Pahlavi’s texts the name of Amshaspandan has been seen. This assistance of Ahora in Gataha is manifestation of Ahoramazda and is the signs of creation, meanwhile in Avesta and Pahlavi text this creatures are holly, independent, with especial function creatures. Ferdousi in Shanameh mentioned Ormozd as messenger of Zartosht and without declare the name of Avesta and Zand and without citing the name of Emshaspandan, used the manifestation of Bahman, Ordibehesht, Shahrivar, Sepandarmoz, Khordad and Amroud. |
