2408	ENT_ZOR_ASHA_VAHISHTA	aligned_with	ENT_ISR_URIEL	medium	Asha Vahishta ("Best Truth") is the Amesha Spenta of cosmic truth, righteousness, and fire — his physical correlate is Atar (sacred fire), and his domain encompasses the maintenance of cosmic moral and natural order (asha, cognate with Vedic rta). The primary liturgical fire in Zoroastrian temples is dedicated to Asha Vahishta. Uriel ("Fire/Light of God") is the archangel of divine fire and light in Second Temple Judaism: 1 Enoch 20:2 assigns him oversight of "the world and Tartarus"; 4 Ezra 4:1 identifies him as the angel who instructs Ezra in divine mysteries. Both figures govern the domain of divine light/fire as cosmic ordering principle, and both serve as mediators of divine truth to prophets (Zarathustra-Vohu Manah; Ezra-Uriel). The Asha/Uriel alignment is one of the most frequently cited specific Amesha Spenta-archangel parallels in comparative religion scholarship.
