Wrath flared in the heart of King Noshinravan, and he commanded the executioner to lay low the two transgressors who had hidden the truth and betrayed his trust. The executioner dragged them behind the royal curtains of the palace, hanging them head-downward, blood-stained and laden with guilt, as a stern emblem of royal judgment. Thereupon, the monarch turned his attention to Bozorgmehr, the youthful prodigy whose unmatched wisdom had unlocked the mystery of the king's dream. Astonished by the child's sublime intellect, Anushirvan bestowed upon him purses of gold, noble steeds, and magnificent robes of state. By royal decree, Bozorgmehr's name was inscribed at the paramount height of the royal registers, elevating him as an arbiter of truth and premier counselor above even the high mobads of the realm.
