The Last Days of Manuchehr
Manuchehr had lived for one hundred and twenty years, and the time had come for him to prepare for his last journey. His astrologers came to him and told him of the evidence of the skies; they could not see that his days would continue, and he should be ready to leave the world. They gave him the bitter news that the glory of his sovereignty was dimmed, and said to him, "You will go to another place, and may you meet with God there. There is no fighting against death; you must do now whatever is necessary before your departure."
