Khosrow Sees Rostam's Army Off

From B13.16, Fariborz Asks for Farangis’s Hand. It illustrates B13.16.69–74:

  • B13.16.69
    The Shah gave robe of honor, new crown, fame;Three days he stayed; the fourth departure came.
  • B13.16.70
    Then Rostam with his warriors took the plain,While Fariborz advanced with martial train.
  • B13.16.71
    Fariborz went before, a star on high;His splendor shone like starlight in the sky.
  • B13.16.72
    At sunrise then the karnay sounded clear;And Rostam moved the army without fear.
  • B13.16.73
    Khosrow rode two farsangs beside the train,Then turned while Rostam hurried toward the plain.
  • B13.16.74
    Two stages Rostam made as one each day,And neither day nor night would rest or stay.
