According to Zarvani's belief, Ahriman and Ahuramazda have two inconsistent and twin bases .They have to present a series of activities, superior power and knowledge to manage their own world affairs in order to obtain Zarvan God's position. Mythical traditions introduced Ahuramazda as the superior all-knowing and having wisdom, luminous and powerful. Ahuramazd is a follower of the Front of Goodness, the source and source of power and knowledge, and Ahriman seeks to steal knowledge and power due to his jealousy of inherent greed. The essence of the existence of the planets shows the same elements. With a little reflection on the mythical text, one can find reasons to reject Jupiter's superiority and unrivaledness. Not only does the devil not seem knowledgeable and ignorant, but even vice versa; To some extent, he showed the obvious superiority of the devil in the field of competition with Jupiter, both in creativity and in secrecy.on the contrary, it introduced Ahriman as an unwise ,smelly ,slow-witted and beater .This paper is performed in descriptive- analytical methodology based on library method in form of taking notes, it aims to write extensive research in this field . Studies and researches resulting from this article suggested that Ahriman had more power and dare than Ahurmazda in many cases and the evidence for this claim also has been extracted from the verses of Shahnameh.
