*the word used here is Khodavand, one of the hundred and one names given to God in Zoroastrianism. Khoda, the word we commonly understand and use to denote the Almighty Creator is not one of those hundred and one names; the suffix ‘vand’ is added to turn the noun to an adjective. Thus, perhaps, having or possessing the qualities of Khoda.
