I Am Kay Qobad

From B2.4, Rostam Brings Kay Qobad from Alborz. It illustrates B2.4.57–59:

  • B2.4.57
    The youth replied with laughter on his face:“I am that Shah, descended from that race.
  • B2.4.58
    I am Kay Qobad, from Fereydoon’s line;My fathers’ names through generations shine.”
  • B2.4.59
    Then Rostam rose and bowed in solemn awe,And honored him according to the law.
