101.1

A full moon and a sun have begotten a star; / I swear by God, they have prospered!
Three whose lights shine brightly / may no sunset ever replace their sunrise!
When that fruit emerged from the blossom of existence and that blessed fledgling arrived in the open plain from the egg of the womb,
the shah, to fulfill his vows and complete his joy, expended precious riches and abundant wealth on good works.
He commanded the sages and astrologers to determine with certainty and precision the ascendant of the fall of the seed
and the delivery of the head, the nature of the celestial spheres' configurations, the quantity of planetary movements, the essence of circumstances,
the cardines, the rulers of the houses, the sextiles, the trines, and the conjunctions and oppositions of the stars.
They examined the records of the months and years, and gave good tidings to the shah, saying:
“Be glad and live forever! For this son shall be noble and a memorial of the past kings of this dynasty,
and he shall revive their great name through praiseworthy customs
