When the dawn broke, Bahram ascended the throne and summoned the mobads and noble chieftains of Iran to deliberate upon the destiny of the realm. The wise high priests addressed him: "O Prince, your wisdom surpasses that of the sages. Tell us, when you attain the pinnacle of power, how shall you govern with justice and righteousness so that falsehood and defect may vanish from this land?"
Bahram replied with grand resolve: "I shall multiply generosity and diminish tyranny. To those worthy of leadership, I shall grant the stewardship of the earth. I shall hold the world through counsel and equity. Should any man be impoverished, he shall be enriched from the royal treasury. Transgressors shall first be met with counsel, and only upon repeated wrongdoing shall they feel the weight of chains. I shall ensure the army's provisions are punctually bestowed, and I shall illuminate the hearts of the wise. My heart and tongue shall speak as one, shunning all darkness and deceit. If a wealthy man passes leaving no heir, his riches shall be given to the poor, for I shall not bind my heart to this fleeting realm. I shall do nothing without consulting the learned ministers. If after a full year I deviate from these vows of wisdom, I shall forfeit the crown and heritage of my ancestors."
Hearing these noble words, the Iranian elders were struck with deep regret for their former opposition. They acclaimed him as the most righteous sovereign born of royal blood, endowed with unmatched stature, divine favor, and the formidable alliance of Munzhir and the Arab forces.
Thus, the nobles surrendered to Bahram's sovereignty. Following the ancient tradition of the Persian realm, the Mobad of Mobads took the royal crown. Gustahm the brave brought forth two ferocious, chained lions. The gleaming crown of the Kayanians was set upon an ivory throne directly between the two ravenous beasts, setting the stage for Bahram to prove his royal glory and courage by reclaiming the crown from the lions' deadly grasp.
