In the Gathas, the most sacred hymns of Zoroastrianism, believed to have been composed by Zoroaster himself, the term is used as a common noun to refer to the prophet's own mission and to his community of followers, who "bring benefit" to humanity. The common noun also appears in the Younger Avesta (e.g. "Yasna" 61.5), where it generically denotes religious leaders, including Zoroaster (e.g. "Yasna" 46.3) Another common noun "airyaman" "member of community" is an epithet of these "saoshyant"s. In contrast, the standing epithet of the saviour figure(s) is "astvat-"ә"r"ә"ta" "embodying righteousness," which has "arta/asha" "Truth" as an element of the name. These saviours are those who follow Ahura Mazda's teaching "with acts inspired by asha" ("Yasna" 48.12).
