Aniran As in some months there were two days over thirty, they were called respectively Rūz and Shab (Day and Night). By the blessing of H.M.’s attention the intercalary days were abolished, and the months, like the years, became solar. The enlightened mind of H.M. the Shāhinshāh also directed that there should be a duodenary cycle of the years of this Era, each year being named after a month, e.g., the first year was the year Farwardīn Ilāhī, the second, the year Ardībihisht Ilāhī. The pillar of the founders of this sacred era was the Learned of the Age, the Plato of cycles, Amīr Fatḥ Ullah Shīrāzī whose title was Azud-ul-daula.
