I am the physician of lions and leopards

Abstract Geting help from mythology and folk tales is useful way to correct classical texts problems. This method was used especially in the correction of shahnameh poems. Following distich is one of the challenging poems of Shahnameh that in manuscripts and printed books in several different forms was recorded: Sole daughter of the king of Samangan And the physician of lions and leopards is I am. Khaleghi motlagh in an article written about it said this distich is one of the darkest distiches of the shahnameh that in the second Hemistich the true words and meaning of words is vague. Ambiguity on this distich reasons any of the researchers accepted any form of this distich and comment about it. Khaleghi motlagh accepts the terms of the one of the researchers and stresses that this is an older form of distich recordings that we have and possibly there is a ritual behind it but we do not know that. In this study, we want by help of comparative mythology prove that tahmineh character was survived from mother goddess character or one of the ancient goddesses of Iran and also she emphasized she is actually physician of lions and leopards then an older form of distich recordings is correct form
