Edit ProfileCareer
He belonged to the Suren Parsig family, a branch of the House of Suren which had settled in Pars. He was the son of a certain Boraza, who may have owned Dasht-e Barin as part of his fief. In the early 5th-century, Mihr Narseh had a bridge built in Gor.
A inscription was also written on the bridge, which says.
"This bridge was built by order of Mihr-Narseh, wuzurg framadār, for his soul"s sake and at his own expense. The name of the fire-temples were.
Faraz-mara-awar-khwadaya, Zurwandadan, Kardadan, and Mahgushnaspan. He had a fifth fire-temple constructed in Abruwan, which may have been the Barin fire-temple that the 10th-century Persian geographer Estakhri visited, who stated that the fire-temple had an inscription that stated 30,000 dirhams was spent for its construction.
Mihr Narseh later retired to Pars.
He may have been succeeded by Suren Pahlav. He had three sons named Zurwandad, Kardar, and Mahgushnasp.
