He is also called Farâin, but in the Shâhnâmah he is named Bakrâz. When his authority had become paramount, the army of Erân was unwilling to pay him allegiance. Therefore three brothers of the garrison of Estakhar [Persepolis] conspired to slay him, and whilst he was on a ride, one of them pierced him with a lance from the rear, throwing him to the ground. According to one tradition, his reign lasted forty days, and according to another twenty; but Abu Hanifah Dinvari states that, after he had reigned one year, the Persians, disliking to be governed by an individual not of the royal dynasty, attacked and killed him. Then they placed on the throne Juvân Shir [young lion], the son of Parviz, whom he had by Kazdamah, the sister of Behrâm Chubîn. One year afterwards Juvân Shir died, and the throne lapsed to Purândukht.
