I'm struggling with a few in this one.

5 d.) God __ a Hindu one in alternate Pashtun zodiac.
( 5,5)
letters so far A_U_ _/ _A_D_ .
Also 1 d.) Often country cuts serious error with good slow easing of growth. ( 4,7) S_F_ / _ _ N_ I_ G. Soft Landing fits but I don't see how it parses.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Ahura Mazda - RAMA in alt,. letters of PASHTUN ZODIAC

S (OFT+LAND) IN + G; SIN = error

oft land, inside sin with G[ood].

Thank you Kilgore trout and Albert. I'd not come across SIN for ERROR before.
