Pegāh-e Farvardīn (the dawn of Farvardīn) (19:52)
Farvardīn is the first month of the Persian year. It also is the nineteenth day of each month in the ancient Persian calender. This is the day that the immaculate spirits of the ancestors descend from heavens to visit the earth thus the occasion calls for celebration. In the Avesta, the holy book of the Zoroastrians, this word is usually accompanied by the word ashawan, 'the righteous one(s).'
Shūr (2:39)
One of the ancient dast-gāhs (musical patterns) which is still used. It is generally consisted of a minor root, a minor third and a minor fifth, however it is more complicated than these brief explanations. It should be heard to be realized and appreciated.
Pāryāb (9:01)
Generally it means agriculture while using the water which is provided by nearby rivers or artesian.
Asa Banī (16:21)
Literally Lady of the Horse(s) [asa, 'horse' compare with Engl. ass, 'donkey.' Banī and banū, 'lady' compare with New Persian, banū, 'lady'], wife of Pūrū Dakhshtī and one of the women whose frawashi, 'spirituality and holiness (in general)' has been praised and celebrated.
Parvardégān (7:25)
Parvardégān (also Farvardégān) are the last five days of Ābān, the eight month on the Persian calender, which was held holy and was celebrated.
