Asha vahishta ("excellent order") is the personification of the 'best truth' and protects the physical and moral order on earth. He is the most prominent of the (male) Amesha Spentas and the principal adversary of the world of the demons. The second month is dedicated to him.

His eternal opponents are the archdemon of lie, Drug and the archdemon of apostasy, Indra.
