Thrautona is represented as the slayer of the devastating serpent Azhi Dahaka, " created hy Ahriman for the destruction of this world, " of which the name Zohak is a corruption.

P. 251) held the Zend Thrita to be an aucicnt form, in which tlic . Adjectival snfRx ta is iiiiniediately joined to the nmneral thri to give it the value of a...n ordinal, as in the case of the Vedic numerals ekata, dvita and trita (first, second and third). Neriosengh, the Sanscrit translator of the Zend-Avesta, also looks upon Thrita as expressing num- ber, but Roth points out, that, in the passage whore it occurs in the Yacna, the numeral is found in its proper form beside the word Tlirita. Lloth {Zeitschrift der deutschen monjenlmidigchen OcsscUschaft, vol. 2, p. 225) refcra to the Ycn- didad as showing thegift of healing possessed by Thrita. He also calls attention to the fact that the form Thrita of the Zend-Avesta not only far more nearly re- sembles Trita than ThraStona does, but isactually the samo word.
