Gubran

The provided sources do not record a cosmogonic origin story for Gubran. Narrative attestations place Gubran within Mandaean scriptural episodes: in the Mandaean Book of John he assists Nbaṭ in leading a rebellion against Yushamin and his twenty-one sons; in Right Ginza 5.1 he is named among the uthras appointed by Yawar Ziwa to watch over the north and the city of Ur. No source supplied a mythic account of his birth, creation, or ultimate origin.

No physical description of Gubran is recorded in the supplied materials. The only attested iconographic or object detail is that in Chapter 3 of the Mandaean Book of John Gubran's vehicle is named Paraheil, described as a heavenly steed or warhorse. Beyond the mention of this mount, the sources give no bodily, visual, or dress attributes for Gubran.

The sources ascribe custodial and active martial roles to Gubran within Mandaean narrative. He is reported to have assisted Nbaṭ in a rebellion against Yushamin and his twenty-one sons (Mandaean Book of John), indicating participation in supra-human conflict. He is also listed among uthras appointed by Yawar Ziwa over the north to watch over Ur (Right Ginza 5.1), indicating a guardianship or oversight function. The association with the vehicle Paraheil (a heavenly steed) is the only additional operational detail provided. The sources do not enumerate specific supernatural powers, vulnerabilities, or liturgical functions beyond these narrative roles.
