Piran Viseh
Iranian mythical figure
Piran son of Viseh [1] [2] [3] ( Persian : پیران ویسه ) is a Turanian figure in Shahnameh , the national epic of Greater Iran . Beside Shahnameh, Piran is also mentioned in other sources such as Tabari and Tha'ālibī . He is the king of Khotan and the spahbed of Afrasiab , the king of Turan. He is described as a wise and intelligent man, seeking to bring peace to Iran and Turan. In old Iranian writings, Piran and Aghrirat are the only Turanians that have been described positively. Piran plays a vital role in the story of Siavash , the story of Kay Khosro and the story of Bizhan and Manizhe . Piran was killed by Goudarz in the battle of Davazdah Rokh . Kay Khosro mourned the death of Piran and ordered to wash his body with Musk and Ambergris and ordered to be buried in the cave of Zibad . In Persian culture , Piran is a symbol of wisdom. [4] It has been said that Karim Khan called Mohammad Khan Qajar "Piran Viseh". [4] [5] Piran is often compared to Bozorgmehr . [3]
According to djalal khaleghi motlagh , Piran may be the Median Harpagus that saved Cyrus the Great . [6]
According to the book of Dr Abas Zamani Piran was buried in the cave of Zibad now called DarSufa Pir. [7]
According to Patrice Lajoye , Piran may not have been a real historical figure at all, but rather a euhemerized thunder deity descended from the Proto-Indo-European Perkwunos , whose name is cognate with the Slavic Perun and Sanskrit Parjanya . [8]
