Page "Afterlife" Paragraph 94

Rituals which are done on the first three days are vital and important, as they protect the soul from evil powers and give it strength to reach the underworld.

After three days, the soul crosses Chinvat bridge which is the Final Judgment of the soul.

Rashnu and Sraosha are present at the final judgment.

The list is expanded sometimes, and include Vahman and Ormazd.

Rashnu is the yazata who holds the scales of justice.

If the good deeds of the person outweigh the bad, the soul is worthy of paradise.

If the bad deeds outweigh the good, the bridge narrows down to the width of a blade-edge, and a horrid hag pulls the soul in her arms, and takes it down to hell with her.
