Ahuramazda

"He has all the attributes of a very high God, because he is omniscient, very wise, guardian and defender of his creatures, inaccessible to deception because he sees and knows everything, creator of light, of men and of the so-called primeval heifer which is, as will be seen, the living symbol of the strength and productive virtue of nature. His throne is in the highest heaven, and he sits there surrounded by the celestial hosts. This last concept is common, one can say, to almost all religions; but the attributes now enumerated are of a philosophical and theological nature, such that they bring Ahura Mazdao closer to the Semitic god, to the Yahveh in particular of the Jews, while distancing him from every other Indo-European god to whom, usually, they are always, or almost always, accompanied anthropomorphic attributes. (Italo Pizzi)"

"Zarathustra's god is a unique god. This is a concept that is not only foreign to the entire Iranian tradition, but is in absolute contrast with it. For it Zarathustra inaugurates a new era in the history of the Iranian people. He is the prophet of Ahura Mazda, and Ahura Mazda is the only god. (Raffaele Pettazzoni:)"

"The name Ahura, like the name of Yahveh that the Bible gives to the God of Israel, means the Being, that is, the Being par excellence; and it is obvious to understand that such a concept, high and sublime, a mere and pure metaphysical abstraction, can only proceed from a select speculative mind and cannot belong to the order of ideas proper to naturalistic religions. And did this idea perhaps come to Zarathustra from the Semites, or rather from the Jews? (Italo Pizzi)"

"All this I have done according to the will of Auramazda: may Auramazda protect me, together with the gods, and (protect) my lordship and what was built by me. May Auramazda protect me together with the gods; and that which was built by me, and that which was built by my father, king Darius, that also shall protect Auramazda. (Xerxes I of Persia)"

"Auramazda brought me help, and with it the other gods that are there. Therefore Auramazda and the other gods that are there brought me help, because I was not evil, I was not deceitful, I was not arrogant, neither I nor my family."

"By the grace of Auramazda I am king: Auramazda gave me the kingdom."

"A great god (baga) (is) Auramazda, who created this earth, who created that sky, who created man, who created abundance of goods for man, who made Darius king, the 'one (made) king of many."
