Part 16•Shahnameh•The book of kings He made for the River Arvand (if you do not know Pahlavi, this river is called “Dejleh” in Arabic, or the Tigris) and pitched camp on its banks, close to the city of Baghdad, and sent word to the ferryman there that he needed boats to transport his army across the river. But the man neither sent any craft nor came to talk with Feraydun. His answer was, “The world’s king has told me in private that I am not to let so much as a mosquito cross this river without a permit sealed in the correct manner.” Feraydun was enraged by this reply; his mind was focused on the coming battle and, undeterred by the river’s depth, he mounted his brave horse Golrang and urged it into the water. His companions quickly followed suit, plunging their mounts in the river, so that the water rose above their saddles. . . . Continue in replies 👇🏻

1: The prince and his army reached the further bank and went on toward Jerusalem, which was called in Pahlavi “Gang Dezh Hukht” and was where Zahhak had built his palace. When they were a mile from the city, the king saw a palace with walls that shone like the planet Jupiter in the heavens and were so high that they seemed to reach for the stars. He knew that this great palace, which seemed a place of joy and peace, was the home of the monster Zahhak, and he said to his companions, “T fear that anyone who can raise such a building on the dark earth is somehow secretly favored by fate. Rather than delay, we had better attack immediately.” He shouldered his mace and urged his horse forward, bearing down on the palace guards like a fire, so that not one of them remained.

2: This young, courageous warrior, who had no experience of the world, gave thanks to God and entered the palace on horseback. There he came on an idol made by Zahhak, and its head reached into the sky. When Feraydun saw that it bore a name other than that of the Creator, he overturned it. With his mace he crushed the heads of the magicians and demons who were in the palace, then placed his foot on Zahhak’s throne in victory. He had the black-haired women of the harem, whose faces were as splendid as the sun, brought before him. They had been brought up as idolaters and were trembling and terrified, as if they were drunk, but Feraydun commanded that their minds be purified, and their souls freed from darkness. He had them taught the ways of righteousness and cleansed them of their idolatry.

3: Then Jamshid’s two sisters stained their cheeks with tears and said, “May the old world be renewed by your good fortune! Tell us what star guides you, and what tree you are sprung from, that you have dared to attack the lion’s sleeping quarters so bravely. How wretchedly we’ve passed our days, mistreated by that fool of a magician; what sufferings we have endured at that monster’s hands! We have never seen anyone strong enough or valiant enough to seek his throne.” Feraydun answered, “Neither the throne nor good fortune will remain with one man forever. I am the son of the illustrious Abetin, whom Zahhak seized and murdered in Iran, and I seek Zahhak’s throne in revenge. The marvelous Barmayeh cow was my wet nurse, and that innocent animal’s blood too will be avenged by me. I have come from Persia bringing war, and I shall give the evil Zabhak no rest or peace until I have crushed his head beneath my ox-headed mace.”

I will call Feraydun example of what a boldness is. Now that water had covered the saddles, what next?
