Zoroaster (Zarathushtra) was a priest of a certain ahura
(Avestan equivalent of Sanskrit asura) with the epithet mazda,
"wise," whom Zoroaster mentions once in his hymns with "the
[other] ahuras." Similarly, Darius
I (522-486) and
his successors worshipped Auramazda [AKA Ahuru Mazda].
Zoroaster's people are called Avestan;
after the Avesta, the holy Scripture of
the Zoroastrians
