Khosrow Descends to Greet Rostam

From B11.2, Iran’s Nobles Honor Kay Khosrow. It illustrates B11.2.33–39:

B11.2.33
When Khosrow saw the hero drawing near,His eyes grew wet as memory stirred a tear.
B11.2.34
He rose from off the throne and stepped below,And blessed the chief whom all the world would know.
B11.2.35
The warrior kissed the earth with reverent care,Then Khosrow spoke, his blessing to declare:
B11.2.36
“Live ever blessed, O chief of noble fame,Bright be your soul, enduring be your name.
B11.2.37
Wise and restrained in word and heart are you,Who fostered Siavash, steadfast and true.”
B11.2.38
He clasped Zal’s head against his royal breast,And grief for Siavash rose, no more suppressed.
B11.2.39
Then Khosrow seated both and drew them near,And spoke Yazdan’s great name for all to hear.
