Xroshtag and Padvaxtag
Call and Answer

Xrôshtag and Padvâxtag (Xrōštag and Padvāxtag) are a pair of Manichaean divinities, always depicted together, who serve as the personifications of the words "call" and "answer". [1] [2] The call is uttered from above by the "living spirit", and is answered from below by the man who wishes to be saved.
