بهارستان، روضه دوم / Baharestan: The Second Garden (Rowzeh 2)

The second of the eight rowzeh (gardens) into which Jami's Baharestan is organized. Modeled on Saadi's Gulistan, the work distributes its prose anecdotes and interspersed verse into thematic gardens. The sections belonging to the second garden — including the tale of the Indian physician who brings the Caliph of Baghdad three gifts (a permanent black hair dye, a digestive electuary, and an aphrodisiac), all of which the Caliph rejects as emblems of vanity, gluttony, and lust — sit under this garden rather than directly under the whole collection.
