Overview
The Bundahishn portrays Āz as a demon who swallows everything. If deprivation leaves nothing to consume, he eats himself. Giving him the wealth of the whole world still cannot fill or satisfy him.
The following paragraph distinguishes Push, who hoards without consuming or sharing, from this consuming appetite. Āz thus receives a concrete, self-destructive action alongside the passage’s personification of insatiable greed.
