It has been said that Karim Khan called Mohammad Khan Qajar "Piran Viseh". Piran is often compared to Bozorgmehr. According to , Piran may be the Median Harpagus that saved Cyrus the Great. According to the book of Dr Abas Zamani Piran was buried in the cave of Zibad now called DarSufa Pir. 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.
