[1200] Not all of these had public cults.

[1205] The six are: Vohumanah (Good Thought or Good Mind),
Khshathra Vairya (Best or Wished-for Righteous Realm or
Law), Spenta Armaiti (Holy Harmony), Asha Vahista (Perfect
Righteousness or Piety), Haurvatat (Well-being), Ameretat
(Immortality).
[1206] On these and certain minor divinized conceptions of
time see Spiegel, op. cit., ii, 4-17. On the Hindu
personification of time see Bloomfield, _Religion of the
Veda_, p. 244 ff. In these and similar cases time,
containing all things, is conceived of as the producer of
all things, and the line between personification and
hypostatization is not always clearly defined. For the
influence of astrology on the deification of time, see
Cumont, _Les religions orientates parmi les peuples
romains_, chap. vii (on astrology and magic), p. 212 f.,
paragraph on new deities, and notes thereto. Hubert, "La
representation du temps dans la religion et la magie" (in
_Melanges de l'histoire des religions_), p. 190,
distinguishes between the notation of favorable and
unfavorable times (and the nonchronological character of
mythical histories) and the calendar, which counts moments
continuously.

the Vedic Adityas see Roth, in _Zeitschrift der deutschen
morgenlaendischen Gesellschaft_, vi, 69 f.; Macdonell, _Vedic
Mythology_, p. 44; Bloomfield, _Religion of the Veda_, p.
134 f. Cf. also L. H. Gray (on the derivation of the
Amshaspands from material gods), in _Archiv fuer
Religionswissenschaft_, vii (1904), 345.
