Determined to immortalize the unmatched valor and devotion of Rostam, the righteous King Kay Khosrow summoned the royal scribe, commanding him to bring fine parchment infused with musk and precious ambergris. Upon this fragrant sheet, a grand royal charter was crafted under the majestic decrees of the sovereign. It proclaimed that Rostam—the elephant-bodied hero revered across all assemblies for his peerless knightly virtue—was established as the supreme leader of champions, the vigilant commander of the host, and the perpetual ruler of the realm of Nimruz.
Upon this solemn decree, they pressed the golden royal seal according to the sacred traditions of Kay Khosrow the Just. Handing the parchment to the titan Rostam, the King bestowed his royal blessings, praying that the earth might forever flourish through Rostam's noble guardianship.
Then, turning his eyes upon the grandees and astrologers who had accompanied Zal, son of Sam, carrying their star-tables and instruments of wisdom, the King honored them bountifully. Kay Khosrow bestowed upon each of them splendid robes of honor, treasures of gold and silver, and goblets brimming with glittering jewels, crowning the grand assembly with unmatched royal splendor.
