Chapter 100. [Ahriman (the devil)]

tr. Martin Haug and E. W. West (1872)

1. Then I saw the Evil spirit, the deadly, the world-destroyer, whose religion is evil, (2) who ever ridiculed and mocked the wicked in hell, and said (3) thus: 'Why did you ever eat the bread of Ohrmazd, and do my work? (4) and thought not of your own creator, but practiced my will?' (5) So he ever shouted to the wicked very mockingly.
