And behold, a Swing (Arjuha) had been set up from the sky to the earth, [made] of varieties of jewels and pure gold (Aqyan). And they looked at the Bed (Sarir) of a Man who has no image that can be found. It was descending to the earth, that Swing going back and forth in the air. So the Intermediary fell down [in prostration] for it.

And he is the Greatest Master (As-Sayyid Al-Akbar) Muhammad, and with Him is His Gate (Bab). They are the two who used to Manifest among the Persians as Kharwin and Khusraw.

And the Meaning (Al-Ma'na), Majestic and Exalted, when He Manifested, was named Sharwin. So when they prostrated, the world prostrated by their prostration. Then He addressed them regarding Oneness (Tawhid). Thus, the Persians merited by that prostration that the kingdom was established among them for four thousand and five hundred years.

Then they asked Him to revive for them their dead in an ancient Nawus (ossuary/tomb). So He commanded them to kindle a fire upon the Nawus.

When they did that, He said: "Let each one of you take a vessel containing water and sprinkle it upon the place where his family is, for they will come out to him."
