Bashiri also draws attention to the apparent astronomical references: the sun (which was sometimes known as "Tork-e falak" "the Turk of the firmament"), Saturn (sometimes referred to as "Hendū-ye čarx" "the Indian of the sky"), Venus and other bright planets ("Lūlīyān"), the seven planets ("Torkan"), the star Aldebaran ("Zoleyxā"), the Pleiades ("Sorayyā"), and the Firmament itself ("falak").
