Mithra, btw, is Mitra of RV. Friend. Also known as Surya, the Sun. Parsis are worshippers of Fire and Sun, believe it or not, they too call them Agni and Mitra, not MitHra.
Hello,
But I see that Zarasthustra sang Vahishto Ishti Gatha (Best Beloved). RC there may be something wrong in all your theories. It's peculiar that Zarasthustra who you say is Jaruth and who was killed by Vashista sang for beloved Vashista.
Burn up all malice with those flames, O Agni, wherewith of old thou burntest up Jarutha, [Rig Veda 7.1.7]; "O Agni, Vasistha kindles you - destroy the malignant Jarutha. ---- [Rig Veda 7.9.6]; and Agni rejoiced the car of him who praised him, and from the waters burnt away jarutha.
Is burning away jarutha from waters not chitta suddhi? .
Om Namah Shivaya
