Fereydoon Crowns Manuchehr

From A6.26, Fereydoon Receives the Head of Salm. It illustrates A6.26.47–50:

  • A6.26.47
    Then Shirviyeh returned with treasure bright,And set it all before the Shah’s clear sight.
  • A6.26.48
    The Shah shared treasure with the royal trainWhen two days still of Mehr’s month did remain.
  • A6.26.49
    Then Manuchehr was seated, crowned and known,Upon the gleaming gold of royal throne.
  • A6.26.50
    With his own hand he crowned him for his reign,And gave him final counsel, clear and plain.
