Then followed the assembling of the men esteemed learned and wise, the sages of Iran, and seven days of perplexity.  At last Buzerjmihr hastened to the presence of Naushirawan and said:  “O, King of victorious destiny, I have carefully examined this board and these pieces, and at length by your Majesty’s good fortune, I have succeeded in discovering the nature of the game.  It is a most shrewd and faithful representation of a battle field, which it is proper your Majesty should inspect in the first place.  In the mean time let the Indian Ambassador be summoned into the royal presence together with the more distinguished among his retinue, also a few of the wise and learned of our own court that they may all bear witness how we have acquitted ourselves in accomplishing the task imposed upon us by the King of Kancj.  When Buzerjmihr had explained the evolutions of the ebony and ivory warriors, the whole assembly stood mute in admiration and astonishment.  The Indian Ambassador was filled with mingled vexation and surprise, he looked upon Buzerjmihr as a man endowed with intelligence far beyond that of mere mortals, and thus he pondered in his own mind:  How could he have discovered the nature and principles of this profound game?  Can it be possible that he has received his information from the sages of Hind?  Or is it really the result of his own penetrating research, guided by the acuteness of his unaided judgment?  Assuredly Buzerjmihr has not this day his equal in the whole world.  In the meanwhile Naushirawan in public acknowledged the unparalleled wisdom of his favourite Counsellor.  He sent for the most costly and massive goblet in his palace and filled the same with the rarest of jewels.  These, together with a war steed, richly caparisoned, and a purse full of gold pieces he presented to Buzerjmihr.”

The other version of the first receipt of chess in Persia, based upon eastern works and perhaps more reasonable, if not resting upon yet better attestation, records that Burzuvia, a physician, and the most expert that could be found in the knowledge of languages, and art and ability in acquiring them, at the request or command of Chosroes, King of Persia, undertook to explore the national work of the Brahmans and the famous book, the Kurtuk Dunmix, and the result of his mission and labours were, after considerable research in India, the materials for and production of the Culila Dinma, a national work greatly treasured by Chosroes and future kings of Persia, and which work contained the art of playing chess.  This work is said to have been jointly translated by Burzuvia and Buzerjmihr the vizier of Chosroes and it is highly probable that the latter did assist, and thus learnt the secret, and this seems to form the most likely solution of the circumstance of his unraveling the mysteries of chess as alleged, without the slightest clue, to the amazement and delight of Chosroes and his court, when it was received as a test of wisdom
