This study aims to offer a new interpretation of the verse “In envy, the malevolent Ahriman / held counsel until he rise in might” from the story of Gayōmart in the Shahnameh. It begins with a critical review of previous interpretations of the verse. Then, focusing on two key concepts—counseling (rāy-zanī) and empowerment (biyāgend yāl)—it turns to Zoroastrian texts and, through examining some relevant evidences, extracts two distinct narrative patterns. The first pattern consists of three stages: 1. Assembly (gathering), 2.Counsel, 3.Action. The second pattern comprises five stages: 1. Foreknowledge of a predetermined destiny, 2. The Paralysis or unconsciousness, 3.Incitement, 4. Reawakening /mobilization, 5. Action.
A descriptive-analytical and comparative analysis of the verse based on those two models indicates that the verse presents an evolved synthesis of both narrative models. In this narrative, Ahriman, in an effort to disrupt the order of the world of Gayōmart, his son, Siyamak, and humankind, holds counsel with the demons. The outcome of these deliberations is the acquisition of power, culminating in a plan to annihilate, carried out by sending his son, Khazurān, and an army of demons. In the final analysis, a four-stage structure emerges that appears to synthesize the two original patterns: 1. Awareness, 2. Assembly, 3. Deliberation, 4.Action. This structure likely results from the convergence of shared elements in the two primary patterns and finds expression in the verse under discussion.
