Overview
Chamrosh stands at the summit of Mount Alburz in Bundahishn 19.15. The text describes periodic incursions from outside Iran as destructive raids, then has the angel Burj rise from the vicinity of Lake Arag and rouse the bird.
Chamrosh flies to the highest mountains and sweeps up the hostile forces with a comparison to a bird picking grain. The opposition between Iranian and non-Iranian districts belongs to the passage’s religious and geographical worldview. The selected notice gives its perch, periodic activation and immense defensive action, but no specific canine or composite anatomy.
