Faramarz Burns the Hollow Plane Tree

From C9.6, Faramarz Avenges Rostam. It illustrates C9.6.25–26:

  • C9.6.25
    He burned the forty kinsmen, one and all,Then sought Shaghad, the author of the fall.
  • C9.6.26
    He raised a mountain fire that blazed around,And burned Shaghad, the plane tree, and the ground.
