Deity sees AMA hazardous. Not so strange (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ahura mazda

'deity' is the definition.
(Ahura Mazda is an example)

'ama hazardous not so strange' is the wordplay.
'not' suggests deleting specific letters.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ama'+'hazardous'='amahazardous'
'amahazardous' with 'so' removed is 'amahazardu'.
'amahazardu' with letters rearranged gives 'AHURA-MAZDA'.

'sees' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
