ABSTRACT
The Description of Avestic Goddesses According to The
Avestan Texts of b n Ya t and Art Ya t
By
Naghmeh Hosseini
This thesis studies the two sublime Avestic Goddesses Called Ar dv s r
An hit and A i. Ar dv s r An hit is a pre-zoroastrian deity and the equivalent
of the Vedic Sarasvati. Like Sarasvati, she originally was the symbol of waters and
the embodiment of birth and fertility. After incorporating with Ishtar, the semitic
goddess, An hit inherited additional features of the divinity of war and of the
planet Venus. A i is also a pre-zoroastrian deity. In G
s, A i is an abstract noun
meaning portion and share, but in Younger Avesta A i is the Goddess of reward,
fortune and abundance.
Two Avestan texts called
b n Ya t and Art Ya t are dedicated to An hit
and A i. In this thesis these two Ya ts are transcribed, translated in to Persian and
Provided with a lexicon.
