Following the conclusion of the second duel, Goraze, the mighty Iranian champion, stepped forward as the third fighter in the trials of the Twelve Combats to face Siamak of Turan. The two formidable warriors charged into the arena with spears brandished high, roaring like wild, intoxicated elephants. When the stabs of their spears failed to break the deadlock, they unsheathed their heavy maces, raging like furious lions and raining crushing blows upon each other's heads and armor. So grueling was the clash that their tongues grew parched and cracked with thirst, and the combat turned tight and desperate.
Seeing that neither could prevail atop his steed, both champions leapt to the ground and locked in hand-to-hand wrestling, kicking up the dust of vengeance. Gathering his strength like a ravenous lion, Goraze seized Siamak and hurled him to the earth swift as a gale. The impact shattered Siamak's bones, and his soul fled his broken body. Goraze bound the fallen Turanian's corpse to his saddle and mounted his own steed like striking lightning. Gripping the reins of Siamak's horse and holding high the auspicious banner, he rode back to the Iranian knoll roaring with victory, calling down blessings upon the Grand Champion Goudarz and the defenders of Iran.
