When High-Priest of Sirjan (near Kerman in center of Iran), Zad-Sparam told certain new precept about purification in Zoroastrianism, the unsatisfied People of Sirjan complained to his older brother, Manuschchihr, who was High-Priest of Kerman about new precepts.

Manushchihr wrote three epistles in this issue:

  1. Reply to the complaining people
  2. An expostulation with his brother
  3. A public decree

All three epistles severely condemned the new precepts of his younger bother, Zad-Sparam, as unlawful innovations. The first epistle is dated on March 15, 881; the third is dated June-July 881. This book contains almost 9000 words. Manushchihar is the author of another major pahlavi book named 'Dadestan-i Denig'.
