in Persian mythology, was, after Ormuzd, the first created of the seven Amshaspands, chief and protector of the rest, the king of light and genius of good-will. Every second day of every month, and the entire second month of winter, are sacred to him. When Ahriman and Ormuzd shall combat for the possession of the world, Bahman, besides Mah, Gosh, and Ram, will be arrayed against the evil daemons Ashmoph, Akuman, and Tarmad.
