Ahura Mazda (/əhˌʊrəmˈæzdə/;[1]), (also known as Ohrmazd, Ahuramazda, Hourmazd, Hormazd, and Hurmuz, Sanskrit: असुर मेधा (Asura-Medhā), or simply as God) is the Avestan name for a higher divinity of the Old Iranian religion who was proclaimed as the uncreated God by Zoroaster, the founder of Zoroastrianism.

"Excluding the Puranas and judging from the Veda and the Avesta the feeling of hostility in the latter is far more vehement than in the former. There is no book corresponding to the Vendidad in Sanskrit. Vendidad is Vidaeva-data, the law against the Daevas, but there are laws against human offenders also and they are draconian in their severity..."

And further on in the document :

"One of the most extraordinary coincidences between the Veda and the Avesta is in regard to a certain rite performed in connection with the dead. When a follower of the Zoroastrian faith dies a dog is brought in the presence of the dead. This rite is called sagdit; sag is a Persian word meaning a dog, dit is derived from the Sanskrit drishit, seeing. With reference to this a fuller account is to be found in the Rigveda than in the Verndidad. The 14th hymn of the 10th Book of the Rigveda is an invocation of Yama. The spirits of the departed, the Fathers are advised to ‘run and out-speed the two dogs, Sarama’s offerings, brindled, four-eyed, upon the happy pathway’ that leads to the Kingdom of Yama. These two dogs accompany the departing souls. ‘Dark-hued, insatiate, with distended nostrils, Yama’s two envoys roam among the people. May they restore to us a fair existence here and today, that we may see the sunlight.’ Sarama is the bitch hound of Indra and all dogs are considered her offspring. In the Vendidad, Fragard 8, only one dog is mentioned, though the description suggests two, ‘a yellow dog with four eyes, or a white one with yellow ears That is brindled; the four eyes mean certain peculiar spots over the eyes. Nothing is said about the origin of the dog. Elsewhere in the Vendidad it is stated that the beautiful and pure soul goes to the Bridge of Chinvat accompanied by dog. In the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata it is stated that a dog accompanied King Yudhishthria to heaven. The rite of sagdit* is still practiced by the Parsis, whereas the Hindus who look upon a dog as an unclean animal have discarded this practice. It is a Vedic rite as well as an Avestan ceremony. It is allegorical but most Vedic rites come under that description."
