Goshtasb Orders Rostam Bound

From C8.3, Goshtasb Replies to His Son. It illustrates C8.3.31–41:

C8.3.31
If crown and throne are what you hope to claim,Then march with troops to Sistan for that aim.
C8.3.32
When you arrive, bind Rostam’s hands; obeyThe charge I give, and bring him back this way.
C8.3.33
Bring Rostam with the kamand round his arm,Bound fast, a captive, stripped of power to harm.
C8.3.34
For Zal, Zavareh, Faramarz, take heed;Let none contrive a snare to thwart your deed.
C8.3.35
Bring them on foot and make them run this way;Bring them before me, prince, without delay.
C8.3.36
Then none will turn from us, however greatHis wealth or pleasure in his prosperous state.”
C8.3.37
The chieftain frowned, displeasure in his eyes;He said, “Turn back from what you now devise.
C8.3.38
Not Zal or Rostam is your true concern;Against your son your plotting thoughts now turn.
C8.3.39
You grudge the royal throne I seek to gain;You would not have me in this world remain.
C8.3.40
Keep crown and royal throne, as you desire;The world has corners where I may retire.
C8.3.41
Yet I remain your servant, patient still,And bow my head before your royal will.”
