Following the arrival of the Roman envoy and the sealed riddle sent by Caesar, the young sage Bozorgmehr stepped forward in the magnificent court of King Khosrow Noshirvan. Addressing the Shah of Iran, he offered high praise, wishing that the royal glory might shine as long as the heavens endure. Sustained by the power of Yazdan, who had endowed his spirit with truth and discernment, Bozorgmehr boldly declared that he would reveal the casket’s hidden secrets without so much as touching its lock or seal. Though the physical eye might grow dim, he proclaimed, an illuminated heart armored with wisdom preserves the soul from error.
Delight filled Noshirvan’s heart, and his mind was eased of all worry. He immediately summoned the Roman ambassador and bade the chief Magi and councilors to assemble around the locked vessel. The Roman envoy stepped forth and delivered Caesar's terms: 'The King of Iran is blessed with divine radiance, wisdom, and sovereign power. Let the enlightened scholars of his court declare what lies hidden beneath this seal. If they discern the truth, Rome shall faithfully render annual tribute; but if they fail, no further tribute shall cross our borders.'
Upon hearing the ambassador's challenge, Bozorgmehr offered devout praise to the Almighty Lord of the sun and moon, declaring that God alone holds absolute power and knowledge. He then unraveled the mystery before the astonished assembly: 'Enclosed within this casket, wrapped in fine silk, rest three luminous pearls—the first fully pierced, the second half-pierced, and the third completely untouched by iron.' When the Roman sage produced the key and unlocked the casket, the hidden silk box was revealed, containing the three pearls exactly as Bozorgmehr had foretold. Shouts of praise erupted throughout the hall, as the Magi and court nobles showered the young prodigy with blessings and gems.
