Angra Mainyu
"Vendidad" 19.1 and 19.44 have Angra Mainyu dwelling in the region of the "daeva"s which the "Vendidad" sets in the north and/or the nether world ("Vendidad " 19.47, "Yasht" 15.43), a world of darkness. In Vendidad 19.1 and 19.43–44, Angra Mainyu is the "daevanam daevo", ""daeva" of "daeva"s" or chief of the "daeva"s. The superlative "daevo.taema" is however assigned to the demon Paitisha ("opponent"). In an enumeration of the "daeva"s in Vendidad 1.43, Angra Mainyu appears first and Paitisha appears last. "Nowhere is Angra Mainyu said to be the creator of the "daeva"s or their father."
