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.

In its further literary interpretations (“Metamorphoses”, by Ovid) the ancient Greek myth of Pygmalion, the sculptor, symbolizes the true inspiration of an artist and the one who apperceives the work of art. The transformation of the marble statue is a clear allegory which drives the reader to various reflections on the metaphysics of a work of art and the external reality. The issue is highly contradictory.
