Chapter 2 focuses on astronomy and exemplifies the relation between Iranian and Mesopotamian, Indian, and Hellenistic ideas of the cosmos. The chapter describes Ohrmazd’s creation of the celestial lights, that is, the “fixed” and wandering stars, then the moon, and lastly the sun. The chapter also discusses the twelve constellations, which are Ohrmazd’s allies in the cosmic battle, and names the four stars who act as generals of the four quadrants of the sky.
