Daughter of the ruler of Goghtn, Khosrov Goghtnatsi [hy], her father was killed and she was imprisoned in a fortress of Ani-Kamakh (modern-day Kemah) for twenty years.

Her brother was imprisoned and eventually killed; Khosrovidukht's only surviving work, the sharakan (chant) "Zarmanali e indz" (More astonishing to me) was dedicated to him.

[2][n 2] Khosrovidukht's father was killed in 706,[2] when the local Muslim governor gathered many Armenian nobles in Nakhjavan and Goghtn and massacred them.

[5] Khosrovidukht's brother, Vahan Goghtnatsi [hy], was then abducted by Muslim Arabs and brought to Syria,[3] while she was taken to the fortress of Ani-Kamakh, now known as Kemah.

[2] The piece has been described by historian Agop Jack Hacikyan as evidencing "a great deal of literary skill",[2] and by ethnomusicologist Şahan Arzruni as "florid".

[1] Like the work of Sahakdukht,[7] Khosrovidukht's piece was not included in the collection of official sharakans;[2] however, despite its secular nature, "Zarmanali e indz" eventually became approved by the Armenian Church for use in services.

Զարմանալի է ինձ, Քան զերգս երաժշտականաց, Ձայնս ողբոց քոց հնչմունք, Ո՜վ երանելի տէր Վահան, ընտրեալ յաստուծոյ։

Որպէս քաջ նահատակ, Պատրաստեալ ի պատերազմ, Կատարեցեր զընթացըս քոյ, Արիաբար՝ յազգացն հարաւայնոյ, Դասաւորեալ ընդ անմարմնականսն.
