Mehran DHN
The news of the death of Siyavush causes lamentation at the Iranian court and in Zabulistan, where Rustam swears to avenge his murder. After a period of mourning, Rustam journeys with his army to the court of Kai Kavus. First, he reproaches the shah for listening to Sudaba and allowing Siyavush to go to Turan. Next, he drags Sudaba out of her chambers and stabs her to death. After seven days of mourning, he issues the call to battle and departs with the army for Turan.
