Daevas Biography

Daeva (da?uua, da?ua, da?va) is the Avestan language term for a particular sort of supernatural entity with disagreeable characteristics.In the Gathas, the oldest texts of the Zoroastrian canon, the daevas are 'wrong gods' or 'false gods' or 'gods that are (to be) rejected'. This meaning is ? subject to interpretation ? perhaps also evident in the Old Persian 'daiva inscription' of the 5th century BCE. In the Younger Avesta, the daevas are noxious creatures that promote chaos and disorder. In later tradition and folklore, the d?ws (Zoroastrian Middle Persian; New Persian divs) are personifications of every imaginable evil. Origin and development Etymology Old Avestan da?uua or da?va derives from Old Iranian *daiva, which in turn derives from Indo-Iranian *devá- "god," reflecting Proto-Indo-European *deiu?ó with the same meaning. For derivatives in a European context, see Tyr.The Vedic Sanskrit cognate of Avestan da?uua is devá-, continuing in later Indic languages as d?v. Equival
