In this section of the Baharestan, Jami characterizes Naser Khosrow al-Ansari as skilled (mahir) in the craft of poetry and accomplished (kamil) in the branches of philosophy and wisdom (hikmat), while noting that he was accused of inclining toward heresy (zandaqa) and unbelief (ilhad).

Jami highlights two aspects of his legacy:

• His Safarnama (travelogue), which records his journeys across much of the inhabited world and versifies the conversations he held with learned men.
• Verses drawn from his poetry that Ayn al-Qudat cites in the book Zubdat al-Haqa'iq, including lines lamenting the Bulgharians and the Turks.

The pairing of celebrated poetic and philosophical mastery with a reputation for doctrinal suspicion is the core of Jami's brief assessment.
