YAST NOUN

yst.03 Sickness fled away [before it], Death fled away; the Daeva fled away, the Daeva s counter work fled away; the unholy Ashemaogha fled away, the oppressor of men fled away.
yst.03 He it is who smites me that brood of the Snake, and who might smite those Daevas by thousands of thousands, by Ten thousands of Ten thousands; he smites sickness, he smites death, he smites the Daevas, he smites the Daeva s counter work, he smites the unholy Ashemaogha, he smites the oppressor of men.
yst.08 21. But there rushes down to meet him the Daeva Apaosha, in the shape of a dark horse, black with black ears, black with a black back, black with a black tail, stamped with brands of terror.
yst.08 22. They meet together, hoof against hoof, O Spitama Zarathushtra! the bright and glorious Tishtrya and the Daeva Apaosha. They fight together, O Spitama Zarathushtra! for Three days and Three nights. And then the Daeva Apaosha proves stronger than the bright and glorious Tishtrya, he overcomes him.
yst.08 27. But there rushes down to meet him the Daeva Apaosha in the shape of a dark horse, black with black ears, black with a black back, black with a black tail, stamped with brands of terror.
yst.08 28. They meet together, hoof against hoof, O Spitama Zarathushtra! the bright and glorious Tishtrya, and the Daeva Apaosha; they fight together, O Zarathushtra! till the time of noon. Then the bright and glorious Tishtrya proves stronger than the Daeva Apaosha, he overcomes him.
yst.11 6. Pronounce then that word, O Zarathushtra! that word to be spoken, when thou fall upon the idolaters and thieves and Daevas rushing together. Then the malice of the wicked worshippers of the Daevas, of the Yatus and their followers, of the Pairikas and their followers, will be affrighted and rush away. Down are the Daevas! Down are the Daeva worshippers, and they take back their mouths from biting.
yst.13 89. Who was the first Priest, the first Warrior, the first Plougher of the ground; who first took the turning of the wheel5 from the hands of the Daeva and of the cold hearted man; who first in the material world pronounced the praise of Asha, thus bringing the Daevas to naught, and confessed himself a worshipper of Mazda, a follower of Zarathushtra, one who hates the Daevas, and obeys the laws of Ahura.
