In Zoroastrian texts, including those based on lost
Avestan material, Az represents desire as opposed to contentment
(hunsandīh). She poo-poos the conventional and the so called norm and is
a real menace to the holy and pious striving (tuxšagīh) in the service
of God (Ahura Mazdā). It brings about death as it destroys a man’s
physical strength and so keeps him from fulfilling the whole range of
religious duties (his xwēškārīh).
We drain them till he's totally spent.
In Zurvanite theology, Az has primary importance as leader
of the demonic host. This Zurvanite conception explains the great role
played by this Manichean Az, she is “mother of the demons (mād čē
dēwān), from whom every sin has come.”
