In Fariduddin Attar's Elahi Nameh, the relationship between temporal rulers and their wise advisors is a recurring theme that explores the limits of absolute sovereign power. This motif is clearly illustrated by comparing the tale of Bozorgmehr and Anushirvan with the tale of Ardashir and the Mobad (minister). In both narratives, a king's impulsive anger and lack of foresight threaten the stability of his realm—either through a national crisis (Anushirvan's inability to solve the Roman riddle) or the destruction of the royal lineage (Ardashir's order to execute his pregnant wife). The advisors, Bozorgmehr and the Mobad, serve as intellectual and ethical counterweights to absolute rule. While Bozorgmehr's intellect restores the kingdom's prestige, the Mobad's strategic disobedience preserves the future heir. Together, these stories demonstrate that successful governance requires worldly rulers to defer to the wisdom, foresight, and restraint of their sages.
