That's what the word 'haurvatat' means, you know.

She died when young Harve was bom, young Haurvatat.

Modern Iranian form of Persian Haurvatat, meaning "health, perfection."

The righteous can put demons to flight by invoking the name of Haurvatat (Yasht 4.2).

These latter assignments reflect Haurvatat's identification with water and Ameretat's identification with plants.

Taurvi versus Haurvatat)

There had been whispering, shouts from behind closed doors, Dr. Brown saying, "I would have said she died of suf- focation, Haurvatat.

In Yasht 4.1, Haurvatat is described as having been created by Ahura Mazda for "the help, joy, comfort, and pleasure of the ashavan."

In post-Gathic Zoroastrianism, Haurvatat was the Amesha Spenta associated with water (cf. apo), prosperity, and health.

Already in the Gathas, Haurvatat is closely allied with Ameretat, the Amesha Spenta of "Immortality".

Ameretat and Haurvatat are the only two Amesha Spentas who are not already assigned an antithetical counterpart in the Gathas.

Unlike four of the other Amesha Spentas, Haurvatat does not have a standing epithet that in later Avesta texts becomes an element of her proper name.

The antithetical counterpart of Haurvatat is demon (daeva) Tarshna "thirst," while Ameretat's is Shud "hunger."

The word 'Khordad' is the New Persian continuation of Middle Persian Hordad, from Avestan Haurvatat "wholeness."

The Avestan language noun haurvatat is grammatically feminine and in scripture the divinity Haurvatat is a female entity.

In the eschatological framework of Yasht 1.25, Ameretat and Haurvatat represent the reward of the righteous after death (cf. Ashi and ashavan).

In Arda Viraf 35.13, the three daughters of Zoroaster are described to be in the image of Armaiti, Ameretat, and Haurvatat.

Etymologically, Avestan haurvatat derives from an Indo-Iranian root and is linguistically related to Vedic Sanskrit sarvatāt "intactness, perfection".

In Yasht 4.4, Haurvatat is implored to give mankind the power to withstand the seductive attacks of the Pairikas, the devilish sprites of Angra Mainyu.

In Yasna 3.1, the eminence of Aban is reinforced by additionally assigning guardianship to another Amesha Spenta Haurvatat (middle Persian: (K)hordad).

According to the Denkards recollection of lost Avestan texts, Zoroaster's tan-gohr, his material self, was under the protection of Ameretat and Haurvatat up until the prophet's conception.

"Had only recently returned," she agreed in a dead voice, remembering Dr. Brown's words, heard through a closed door when she had been only twelve: "I would have said she died of suffocation, Haurvatat."

In the hierarchy of yazatas, Haurvatat has as her assistants or cooperators (hamkars) three lesser yazatas: Vata-Vayu of the wind and atmosphere, Manthra Spenta of "bountiful spells" and the Fravashis, the hordes of guardian spirits.

Through the association with plants and water, Ameretat and Haurvatat are consequently identified with food and drink (cf. sustenance in the Gathas, above), and traditionally it was out of respect for these two Amesha Spentas that meals were to be taken in silence.
