The legend of the meeting of the King Tiridates III of Armenia, St. Gregory the Illuminator, Roman Emperor Constantine I, and Pope Sylvester I is an integral part of Armenian–Roman history. Over the centuries, it has been enriched with various details, sanctified, and completed during the Cilician period in the «Letter of Love and Concord». This event, often the subject of doubt and extensive studies, has also been depicted in various works of art, including miniatures, wall paintings, engravings, and icon paintings.

During the active period of Yeghia Temirchipashyan's activity (1851-1908), in the last quarter of the 19th century, the mysteries of existence: the issues of matter and soul, life, death and immortality were the subject of permanent discussions of the literary, scientific and philosophical thought of the time. The mentioned questions in the true sense of the word were oppressing Yeghia Temirchipashyan's mind and soul. In the end, he stops before the Mystery of Death, the End, the Mystery of Nothing. Yeghia Temirchipashyan's point of view, of course, did not end with the wisdom of the Great Nothing. Particularly, his work ''The influence of the Buddha'', published under the name Nuria and defined as philosophical novel by the author himself, sheds light on this issue. From this we learn that he was deeply fascinated by the idea of Nirvana while studying Indian history, language, religion and philosophy at school.

The love song with the beginning of “Hogi zalm nazlu...”, preserved in the No 979 manuscript of the Matenadaran of the Vienna Mechitarist Congregation, belongs to Hovhannes Tlkurantsi, not only by the mentioning of Khev Hovhannes, but also for its poetic spirit close to Tlkurantsi’s poesy and for the religious exalted epilogues. Khev Hovhannes Tlkurantsi’s creation, to be published for the first time, is still in the form of a manuscript and may be considered a newly discovered love song.
