Rostam Seated beside the Throne
From B3.2, Rostam Fights Afrasiab. It illustrates B3.2.49–54:
- B3.2.49The Iranian chiefs withdrew their force,And came before the Shah along their course.
- B3.2.50They gathered spoils and captives from the field,And brought the captured Turks with wealth revealed.
- B3.2.51The great Iranian army reached the Shah,And hailed Kay Qobad with triumphant awe.
- B3.2.52Then Rostam too before the monarch came,Exalted high in honor and in name.
- B3.2.53The Shah received him with distinguished grace,And called the youthful champion to his place.
- B3.2.54On one side Rostam sat beside the throne,On the other famous Zal, to honor shown.
