In Section 12 of Jami's Baharestan, Bozorgmehr defines the purest king as the one whose rule makes the innocent secure while the guilty live in fear. The accompanying verse names clarity of mind and wisdom as the ruler's essential qualities: through such a king the good fare well and the wicked fare ill. The passage frames legitimate kingship as a form of moral discrimination — the ruler's discernment sorts subjects by their conduct, shielding the virtuous and deterring wrongdoers.
