Part 11 •Shahnameh•The book of kings The Birth of Feraydun Many days passed, and Zahhak lived in fear. The noble Feraydun was born, and the world was renewed. He grew as tall as a straight cypress tree, and Jamshid’s imperial farr radiated from him as if he were the sun. He was as necessary to the earth as rain, as fitting to the soul as wisdom. The turning heavens passed over Feraydun and cherished him with loving kindness. The cow called Barmayeh, the most splendid of all cows, was also born: she was like a peacock, and every hair of her body was a different color. Wise men, astrologers, and priests, gathered about her and said that no one in the world had ever seen such a cow, or heard of her like from the ancient sages.

1: In his search for Feraydun, Zahhak had filled the earth with rumors, and Feraydun’s father, Abetin, fled in fear. But he fell into the lion’s trap and was caught by some of Zahhak’s malevolent guards. They trussed him up like a cheetah and took him before Zahhak, who killed him. When Feraydun’s mother, Faranak, saw what had happened to her husband, she feared for Feraydun; sick at heart, she made her way to the meadows where the cow Barmayeh grazed. She went to the meadow’s owner and wept bitter tears, saying, “Take this unweaned child into your safekeeping. Accept him as a father would from his mother, and nourish him with that splendid cow’s milk. If you desire payment, my soul is yours, and my life will be hostage to your wishes.” The keeper of the thickets and of the splendid cow answered, “I shall be as a slave to your son, and I will do as you have asked me.” Faranak handed her son over to him and gave him lengthy advice on how to bring the boy up.

2: This protector was like a father to Feraydun, and for three years he fed him the cow’s milk. But Zahhak did not rest in his search, and the world was filled with talk of the splendid cow. Faranak hurried to the meadows again and said to the man who had saved her son, “God has put a wise notion into my heart, and I must act on it, because my son is as sweet as life to me. I will leave this land of magicians and go with my boy toward India. I’ll disappear from men’s sight, and take this handsome child to the Alborz mountains.” She traveled with her son as quickly as a courier, and when she reached the uplands she was like a mountain sheep in her agility. There was a religious man living there, who had cut himself off from the cares of the world,

3: and Faranak said to him, “Reverend sir, I have come here grieving from Iran. You should know that this noble child of mine will be the leader of his people; he will cut off Zahhak’s head and cast his belt and crown in the dust. You must protect him, like a father who trembles for his son’s soul.” The good man accepted her son from her without a sigh. One day news reached Zahhak of the meadow and of the cow Barmayeh, and like a maddened elephant he came there and killed her, together with all the other animals he could see nearby. Then he quickly made his way to the house where Feraydun had been living and searched it, but found no one. He set fire to the building and razed it.
