Explanation : This Nirang seems to have been composed at a later
period, as its language is Persian. Moreover it is surprising that the number of
Ameshăspands mentioned in this Nirang is thirty-three. Perhaps the motive of
the composer of this Nirang is to regard thirty-three Ameshăspands as
thirty-three angels. According to the ancient books of our religion Ameshăspands
are six in number and Ahura Mazdă is counted as the seventh. It is clearly
stated in the Pahlavi Năm Sităyishn incorporated in the Dinkard that the
Creator Hormazd created six Ameshăspands. In the portion of "Nipăyoish
Mashim" occurring in Hormazd Yasht the Creator Hormazd speaks to the
prophet Zarathushtra thus: `I created six Ameshăspands from Bahman to Amurdăd.
In the introductory portions of the Hormazd Yasht and Adibehesht Yasht the
Creator* Hormazd Himself referring to Ameshăspands says thus : "We Ameshăspands".
"In the Haftan Yasht (small) para 12 there occurs a refrence to "Seven
Ameshăspands".
