Angra Mainyu
"Yasht" 15.43 assigns Angra Mainyu to the nether world, a world of darkness. So also "Vendidad " 19.47, but other passages in the same chapter (19.1 and 19.44) have him dwelling in the region of the "daeva"s, which the "Vendidad" asserts is in the north. There (19.1, 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."
