Overview
The Bundahishn identifies Karshipt as a bird able to speak words. It brings and disseminates the religion within the enclosure made by Yim, rendered Jamshed in the hosted translation.
The passage adds that the Avesta is recited there in the language of birds. Its marvellous faculty is therefore linguistic and religious, linking the enclosure with the transmission of revelation. This brief source does not describe plumage, animal companions or an independent battle narrative.
