Khosrow Weeps Before Azargashasp's Fire

From E6.30, Khosrow Rewards Niyatus and the Romans. It illustrates E6.30.13–17:

  • E6.30.13
    He turned back, and the following week he choseTen shrewd and loyal horsemen, tried by foes.
  • E6.30.14
    He left the camp and rode with reverent heartToward Azargashasp’s holy shrine apart.
  • E6.30.15
    When he beheld the dome, he left his steed,With tear-filled eyes and cheeks grown pale with need.
  • E6.30.16
    Afoot he came before the sacred blaze;His face was veiled in tears before its rays.
  • E6.30.17
    All week he read the Zand-Avesta’s lore,And circled round the Fire, his heart still sore.
