Her name is mentioned as the wife of Rostam and as the daughter of Samanganshah, the sovereign of Samangan.

Grieved and angry, Rostam reaches at Samangan, where he was greeted by the king, who offered him the assurance that Rakhsh was too well known for his hiding place not to be soon discovered.

The king of Samangan invites Rostam to stay for the night, therefore, he provides a lodging for the hero in his own palace.

The scene is so described in the Shahnama: Rostam commands that a virtuous Mubad should come and crave her for him from her father.

Tahmina's name appears once again in the Shahnama when she receives the tidings of her son's death.
