درود,

ایندرا یکی از خدایان هندو-ایرانی است.
رویهمرفته شهرمندی و هتا زبان و فرهنگ ایران و هند نزدیکی بسیاری دارند که اینرا در استوره‌ها یشان نیز مینمایانند, در هند نمونه‌وار همانجور
که آندد گفت «دیوها» را داریم که باشندگانی خوب و نیک هستند ولی در استوره‌هایِ ایران کم کم به باشندگانی پلشت دگریسته‌اند و جایشان را به اگر لغزش نکنم
اهوره‌ها و یا همان امشاسپندان و ایزدان پاک داده‌اند.

ایندرا هم یکی از دیوان شده که در برابر امشاسپند اردبیهشت (ارته وهیشته: بهترین راستی) میایستد.

درود بر شما
هندی حساب میشود یا پارسی؟ یعنی از هند به ایران آمده یا از ایران به هند رفته؟ اصالتا متعلق به کدام طرف بوده؟

I wish I knew, شوربختانه استوره‌شناسی و تاریخ من آن اندازه ها (رویهمرفته به هیچ روی) خوب نیست reactor جان (:

از دید من هندو و ایرانی کمابیش یکی هستیم, چه زبانی چه فرهنگی چه از ریشه.

البته این گمانی که مطرح کردم فراتر از یک فرض سادست ولی شک گرایی من اینجا هم ول کن نیست:))
باز هم رجوع به "هند در یگ نگاه"بد نیست

در اینجا جلالی نائینی توضیحاتی در مورد اینکه چطور این فرایند جدایی اتفاق افتاده هم توضیحاتی داده.(اگر تنبلیم اجازه داد و یادم موند اون بخش کتاب رو میارم)
در کل من واقعا خوندشو توصیه میکنم چون هم درک خوبی از فرهنگ، فلسفه و مذهب و اسطوره های هند به دست میده و هم باعث بهتر شدن درک نسبت به هویت تاریخی ایران میشه:)

The Cup of Jamshid

The Cup of Jamshid is a cup of divination which, in Persian mythology, was long possessed by the rulers of ancient Greater Iran. The cup has also been called Jam-e Jahan nama, Jam-e Jahan Ara, Jam-e Giti nama, and Jam-e Kei-khosrow. The latter refers to Kaei Husravah in the Avesta, and Sushravas in the Vedas.
The Cup of Jamshid has been the subject of many Persian poems and stories. Many authors ascribed the success of the Persian Empire to the possession of this artefact. It appears extensively in Persian literature. Examples:

For years my heart was in search of the Grail (Cup of Jamshid)
What was inside me, it searched for, on the trail
Divan of Hafez

The cup ("Jām") was said to be filled with an elixir of immortality and was used in scrying. As mentioned by Ali-Akbar Dehkhoda, it was believed that one could observe all the seven heavens of the universe by looking into it. It was believed to have been discovered in Persepolis in ancient times. The whole world was said to be reflected in it, and divinations within the Cup were said to reveal deep truths. Sometimes, especially in popular depictions such as The Heroic Legend of Arslan, the cup has been visualized as a crystal ball.

Zarich
aka: Zairich, Zairicha

Zarich is one of the female members of the Daevas and the personification of ageing. Her eternal opponent is Ameretat.
Zarich

In Persian mythology, Zarik (or Zarich) is a Daeva in the service of Ahriman. Oft-depicted in female form, Zarik is the daeva personification of aging. She is very masculine. Her amesha rival counterpart is Ameretat.

The names of the dual demons Taurvi and Zairicha personify, in later texts at least, fever and thirst. They occur together and are mentioned in two places in the Younger Avesta, yet without any special description of their work. They are in the Pahlavi texts depicted as the adversaries of the dual divinities Haurvatat and Ameretat.
