Overview
The Bundahishn assigns Vizaresh an encounter with human souls during the days and nights after death, while they remain in the world. He struggles with them and carries them onward in terror.
The passage places him at the gate of hell. His defining role in this notice is the assault and transport of the departed, rather than a specified animal or humanoid appearance.
