Solobung Yubin Explained

Solobung Yubin (in Mongolian), otherwise called (in language) Uhaa Solbon, is the "spirit of the evening and morning stars -- Venus (Solbon)."^[1] Or else, Solbon is Venus simply as "evening star".^[2] This name, defined as the "shepherd of heaven", is transcribed Ζὀλβων in Byzantine records.^[3] In Korean, it is variously written /čolbon/ (卒本) or /solbon/ (率本).

Uhaa Solbon is also "known by the name Uuden Tenger (tenger of the gate)".^[4] If this "gate" be equivalent to the "door" for which Viṣṇu is "door-keeper",^[5] then it may be pertinent that an incarnation of Vishnu "is related to the planet Venus".^[6]
