Persian Literature, Volume 1 HSHENG / TAHMERS / JEMSHD / MIRTS-TZ, AND HIS SON ZOHK; lines 1514-1602 confidence: high
Farnuk hears of Abtn’s death, flees with the two-month-old Feridn, reaches pastureland, and feeds him with milk from the abundant cow Pur'mieh after her own milk dries from grief.
Farnuk cannot nurse because of grief, so the cow Pur'mieh’s milk feeds Feridn during his first refuge.
