MĀNA-YOOD-SUSHĀĪ is a deity of fiction in the work of Lord Dunsany, mainly The Gods of Pegana, but it is also mentioned in a later work: Time and the gods. In these books, he is the first god and creator of all other gods.
The first description of it is the following:
Before the Gods occupied Olympus, and before Allah was Allah, he had worked MANA-YOOD-SUSHĀĪ, and retired to rest.
It appears for the first time at the beginning of the gods of Pegana,
In the mists before the Beginning, Fate and Chance cast lots to decide who to play; , and the winner went through the mists, went to MANA - YOOD - SUSHI, and said: "Now make gods for Me, because I have won, and I must be the one who plays". Who had won, and if it was the Destiny or the Azar who transposed the mists prior to the beginning and was against MANA - YOOD - SUSHĀĪ, nobody knows it.
In the mythology of the books, he created the gods and then he went to sleep, he keeps that way because of the constant drumming of Skarl the drummer, because when he wakes up he will destroy the world and all the other gods and create them again. No one can pray to MANA - YOOD - SUSHĀĪ, since any prayer would wake him from his dream - even his own priests are forbidden to pray to him. However, despite this, one day it will wake up and the world will end:
But when at last Skarl's arm stops beating his drum, the silence will startle everything like thunder in a cave, and it will end the rest of MANA - YOOD - SUSHĀĪ
