From B12.13, The Death of Jarireh. It illustrates B12.13.37–43:
- B12.13.37He ordered then his warriors to prepareA royal tomb upon the mountain, rare;
- B12.13.38Within they placed a golden throne, and laidA golden girdle and a gold brocade.
- B12.13.39They gathered flowers, musk, camphor, and wine,And set them round the prince in solemn line.
- B12.13.40With camphor they preserved his noble head,Rosewater, musk, perfume across him spread.
- B12.13.41They set him on the throne in solemn state;The lion-hearted prince passed on to fate.
- B12.13.42Beside him then they laid Rivniz the brave,And noble Zarasp, fallen to the grave.
- B12.13.43Then Tus, whose beard was white as camphor’s hue,Poured streams of blood from eyes across it too.
