Chapters 1 and 1A describe the myth of primordial creation. The chapters detail Ohrmazd’s spiritual and later material creation of finite time, the earth, the Amahraspands (Beneficent Immortals), and other creations, including the sky, water, earth, and the primordial plant, cow, and man. The chapters also describe Ahriman’s evil and nonmaterial countercreation, and the state of Mixture ( gumezišn ) that follows the onslaught of evil. Chapter 1A provides a more detailed and complete description of Ohrmazd’s creation.
