Заратустре потребовались десять лет, чтобы обратить в свою веру первого неофита – своего двоюродного брата. Затем Бог привел его во дворец царя Виштаспы и царицы Хутаосы.  
Заратустре потребовались десять лет, чтобы обратить в свою веру первого неофита – своего двоюродного брата. Затем Бог привел его во дворец царя Виштаспы и царицы Хутаосы.  


Vishtaspa was an honest, simple monarch but was surrounded by the ''Karpans'', a group of self-seeking, manipulative priests. They convened a council to challenge the revelations of the new prophet and successfully conspired to have him thrown in jail. As the story goes, Zarathustra won his freedom by miraculously curing the king’s favorite black horse. Vishtaspa granted him permission to teach the new faith to his consort, Queen Hutaosa. The beautiful Hutaosa became one of Zarathustra’s greatest supporters and assisted him in converting Vishtaspa.
Виштаспа был простым, честным монархом, однако его окружали карпаны – класс своекорыстных, стремящихся к власти жрецов. Они созвали совет, чтобы опровергнуть откровения нового пророка, и, сговорившись, бросили Заратустру в темницу. Как гласит предание, Заратустра завоевал себе свободу, совершив чудесное исцеление черного коня – любимца царя. Виштаспа разрешил Заратустре учить новой вере свою супругу, царицу Хутаосу. Красавица Хутаоса стала одной из величайших почитательниц Заратустры и помогла ему обратить Виштаспу в новую веру.


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>
