[1] Pele Pughi was born in 1731 in either Avetaranots or Shosh[1] in the Melikdom of Varanda, one of the five Armenian principalities of Karabakh.

Although the relationship of Pughi and Shahnazar relationship is presented as one of between jester and ruler, the jester is not an obedient servant but somebody who constantly provokes Melik to do silly things, so he could stand on the right path due to fear of finding himself in laughable situations.

In the stories, Pughi is frequently rendered as the archetype of medieval judge who makes wise decisions in difficult cases.

[3] His stories and fables, serving as fun and banter, have healthy preceptorial, moralistic tendencies, exposing the vicious aspects of everyday life and social relations of his time.

Many materials about Pele Pughi are preserved at the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, Yeghishe Charents Museum of Literature and Art and elsewhere.
