After two long years, the monarch was finally converted. But Vishtaspa required one final sign before he would totally embrace the faith. He asked to be shown what role he would play in the heaven-world. In response, Ahura Mazda sent three archangels to the court of Vishtaspa and Hutaosa. They appeared as effulgent knights in full armour, riding on horseback. According to one text, they arrived in such glory that “their radiance in that lofty residence seemed ... a heaven of complete light, owing to their great power and triumph;... when he thus looked upon [them], the exalted king Vishtaspa trembled, all his courtiers trembled, all his chieftains were confused.<ref>Dinkart 7.4.75–76, quoted in Bernard H. Springett, ''Zoroaster, the Great Teacher'' (London: William Rider and Son, 1923), p. 25.</ref>
Após dois longos anos, o monarca converteu-se, mas exigiu um último sinal, antes de aderir totalmente à fé. Ele pediu que lhe fosse mostrado o papel que teria no mundo celestial. Por isso, Ahura Mazda
enviou três arcanjos para a corte de Vishtaspa e Hutaosa. Os três pareciam cavaleiros resplandecentes, usavam armaduras e montavam cavalos. De acordo com um texto, eles chegaram com tamanha glória, que a radiação “dos três naquela moradia eminente assemelhava-se a...um céu pleno de luz, devido ao seu imenso poder e triunfo. Quando olhou para os arcanjos, o nobre rei Vishtaspa e os cortesãos estremeceram, e os comandantes ficaram confusos”.<ref>Dinkart 7.4.75-76, citado em Bernard H. Springett, Zoroaster, the Great Teacher (Londres: William Rider and Son, 1923), p. 25.</ref>


Radiating a blinding light and the sound of thunder, they announced that they had come on behalf of Ahura Mazda in order that the king might receive the fullness of the message of Zarathustra. They promised Vishtaspa a life span of 150 years and that he and Hutaosa would have an immortal son. The archangels warned, however, that if Vishtaspa should decide not to take up the religion, his end would not be far away. The king embraced the faith, and the entire court followed suit. The scriptures record that the archangels then took up their abode with Vishtaspa.
