The tale speaks of the main property of Mercury - divinity, righteousness and protection from the forces of evil. Mahan several times escaped death and was able to return home precisely because he was under the protection of Mercury - so the demons could not do anything to him, despite his stupidity and naivety. Mercury here plays the role of guardian angel of the human soul. And the poem speaks about the problem of saving the soul, about the hard way to the Kingdom of Heaven through the numerous earthly sufferings, trials, temptations and demonic obsessions, and Mercury here acts not only as a defender, but also as a guide to paradise.

In another version of the poem about the "Seven Planets", recorded in the XVII century in Georgia, Mercury is identified with the hero and hero of Gorjaspol, the defender and preacher of Zoroastrianism, the warrior of Ahura Mazda. This is a hint at the legendary Tsar Gushtasp, the assistant to Zarathushtra, the distributor of the Zoroastrian faith and the father of Isfandiyar. Simultaneously, the legend symbolizes the significance of Mercury as a guardian and defender of religion.
