Piran Finds Khosrow Among the Shepherds
From B9.58, Piran Sends Kay Khosrow to the Shepherds. It illustrates B9.58.21–26:
- B9.58.21He mounted on a well-trained, gentle steed,And rode to seek the youth of noble breed.
- B9.58.22He called him forth; the prince came like the wind,With eager pace and royal grace combined.
- B9.58.23The youth bent low and kissed Piran’s old hand;Piran beheld his farr and noble stand.
- B9.58.24His eyes filled up with tears, his clasp secure,And silently he prayed to God the Pure.
- B9.58.25Then Piran said: “O youth of faith and worth,May Heaven make you radiant on the earth.
- B9.58.26All those who know you hold your person dear,And call you loved whenever you draw near.”
