From B12.13, The Death of Jarireh. It illustrates B12.13.37–43:

  • B12.13.37
    He ordered then his warriors to prepareA royal tomb upon the mountain, rare;
  • B12.13.38
    Within they placed a golden throne, and laidA golden girdle and a gold brocade.
  • B12.13.39
    They gathered flowers, musk, camphor, and wine,And set them round the prince in solemn line.
  • B12.13.40
    With camphor they preserved his noble head,Rosewater, musk, perfume across him spread.
  • B12.13.41
    They set him on the throne in solemn state;The lion-hearted prince passed on to fate.
  • B12.13.42
    Beside him then they laid Rivniz the brave,And noble Zarasp, fallen to the grave.
  • B12.13.43
    Then Tus, whose beard was white as camphor’s hue,Poured streams of blood from eyes across it too.
