On the third day of the royal banquet, King Bahram Gur commanded the imperial scribe to sit before his throne. With his countenance glowing from ruby wine and heart filled with benevolence, the Shahanshah dictated a grand edict upon fine Chinese silk. He opened the letter with sublime praise for Yazdan, the Almighty Creator who cleanses the human soul with joy and adorns the heart with wisdom. The King declared that no good comes from injustice, warning all governors that any official who oppresses the weak shall face the gallows and the pit.
Bahram Gur recalled his miraculous victory over the Khagan of China and the overthrow of the Turanian horde, attributing his triumph not to pride, but to the divine grace of Yazdan who empowered his small force. In deep gratitude to the Heavens, the Shahanshah proclaimed a universal remission of all taxes across the realm for seven full years. Furthermore, he ordered his officials to register the names of all impoverished citizens so their debts could be liquidated directly from the royal treasury. He commanded that the children of the realm be placed under the tutelage of scholars to enrich their souls with knowledge and crown their bodies with intellect.
He strictly enjoined his lords to refrain from coveting others' possessions, to eradicate evil from its roots, and to treat servants and neighbors with compassion. As the scribe finished writing with musky ink, the King affixed his royal seal to the title: 'From the Lord of Mercy, Glory, and Might—Shahanshah Bahram Gur—to all obedient marchlords and wise commanders.' Swift couriers and dromedaries galloped to every corner of the empire, ushering in an era of unprecedented prosperity, righteousness, and boundless joy.
