روضهٔ دوم باهارستان – در عدل و آیین جهانداری پادشاهان / Second Garden (Rowze 2) of the Baharestan — On Justice and the Conduct of Kings

Jami's Baharestan is organized into a preface, eight thematic gardens (روضه / rowze), and a closing. The Second Garden gathers prose anecdotes interleaved with verse on justice ('adl), oppression, and the art of governance, illustrating the duties of rulers toward their subjects. Sections placed here include the account of Ibn al-Muqaffa reducing the Indian sages' wisdom to a few maxims of just rule, and the teaching that justice makes the world prosperous while oppression lays it to ruin. This garden functions as the intermediate container between the whole collection and its individual sections.
