Jamasp Bows to the Chained Prince

From C6.30, Jamasp Visits Esfandiyar. It illustrates C6.30.17–28:

C6.30.17
Esfandiyar said, “Let him enter now.”The sage came in and made a courtly bow.
C6.30.18
Before Esfandiyar he took his place,And gave Goshtasb’s full message face to face.
C6.30.19
Esfandiyar replied, “O memory brightOf wisdom, honored for your keen insight,
C6.30.20
Exalted man of fearless heart and mind,Why bow to one whom chains and irons bind?
C6.30.21
A man whose hands and feet are bound this waySeems Ahriman, no man of flesh and clay.
C6.30.22
You bring me greetings from the king of kings;What wisdom prompts you to say such things?
C6.30.23
Arjasp has sent his greeting to this land;Iranian blood now stains his murderous hand.
C6.30.24
Though guiltless, I was bound and cast away;Gurazm must be the Shah’s own son today.
C6.30.25
Let me stay bound; these irons testifyBefore Yazdan of earth and starry sky.
C6.30.26
Goshtasb wronged me through Gurazm’s evil word;Ahriman smiled at what that slander stirred.
C6.30.27
Such was the recompense my labors earned;My treasure into iron has been turned.
C6.30.28
May memory of this suffering remain,Nor let your words make my own judgment wane.”
