Chapter 34 describes the resurrection of the dead ( ristāxēz ) in their final physical form, known as the Final Body ( tan ī pāsēn ), and the Restoration of the earth to its original state of peace and symmetry ( frašgird ). The eschatological events include a final universal purgation in a river of molten metal and a final battle between good and evil during which the molten river pours into Hell to destroy it. The chapter describes Ahriman’s return to his primordial darkness and gloom.
