In Vendidad 18.22, Sraosha is called for help against the demon - serpent Azi Dahaka who threatens to extinguish the hearth fire (cf . Atar). </P> <P> Sraosha is the chief adversary of Aeshma, the daeva of wrath, for Aeshma distracts from proper worship, distorting "the intention and meaning of sacrifice through brutality against cattle and violence in war and drunkenness ." While Aeshma's standard epithet is xrvi. dru - "of the bloody mace," Sraosha's standard epithet is darshi. dru - "of the strong (Ahuric) mace ." Sraosha will overthrow Aeshma at the renovation of the world (Yasht 19.95). </P> <P> In Zoroastrian tradition, Sraosha is one of the three guardians of the Chinvat bridge, the "bridge of judgement" that all souls of the dead must cross . Although Sraosha is only one of the three divinities that pass judgement (the other two being Rashnu and Mithra), Sraosha alone accompanies the soul on their journey across the bridge . </P> <P> As also the other two guardians of the bridge, Sraosha is closely identified with Ashi, "Recompense". In Yasht 17.15 and 17.17, Sraosha is called Ashi's "brother ." One of Sraosha's stock epithets is ashya, which may either mean "companion of recompense" or simply "companion of Ashi". </P>
