It took ten years for Zarathustra to make his first convert, his cousin. He was then divinely led to the court of King Vishtaspa and Queen Hutaosa.  
Заратустре потребовались десять лет, чтобы обратить в свою веру первого неофита – своего двоюродного брата. Затем Бог привел его во дворец царя Виштаспы и царицы Хутаосы.  


Vishtaspa was an honest, simple monarch but was surrounded by the ''Karpans'', a group of self-seeking, manipulative priests. They convened a council to challenge the revelations of the new prophet and successfully conspired to have him thrown in jail. As the story goes, Zarathustra won his freedom by miraculously curing the king’s favorite black horse. Vishtaspa granted him permission to teach the new faith to his consort, Queen Hutaosa. The beautiful Hutaosa became one of Zarathustra’s greatest supporters and assisted him in converting Vishtaspa.
