A resounding proclamation echoed from the threshold of Khosrow Anushirvan, announcing that the gates of the imperial audience hall were thrown open to all who sought justice. With a radiant countenance and youthful fortune, the King urged his subjects to place their trust solely in pure Yazdan—the ultimate Sustainer and Guide who uplifts the vulnerable in both worlds. He assured the people never to fear the terrifying majesty of the crown, declaring that whether he was feasting with companions, holding council with advisers, or riding across the polo field and hunting grounds, the royal doors would remain open day and night. King Noshin Ravan vowed that his heart would find no true joy until the anguish of the oppressed was eradicated. He strictly warned his ministers, officers, and stewards that if any subject slept with a broken heart, the Almighty Creator—who beholds all hidden secrets—would hold the sovereign accountable. Furthermore, he ordered the complete remission of all back taxes and levies recorded by the mobads, forbidding any further exaction of silver or gold from the populace. A wave of jubilation swept through the palace as the people showered blessings upon the monarch, praying for the eternal endurance of his throne and Royal Glory. They departed in supreme happiness; under his just reign, the earth blossomed into the likeness of the mythic Garden of Iram, watered by timely rains until valleys, plains, and orchards shone bright as lamps across a tranquil realm.
