Naushirvan is more important historically

The allusion under Naushirvan is more important historically. This King is not a

mythical personage, he is the Chosroes of the classical writers who fought
against Justinian, and was only kept within bounds by the genius of Belisarius;
and Firdausi described his exploits as accurately as was possible to him. He
represents Naushirvan as making war against the Alans, who lived near the
Caspian Sea; he then transports him suddenly to the river of Hindustan (no
doubt the Indus), whence he returned after receiving the submission of the
people. On his return he was met by the news that the country was being laid
waste by the Baloches and Gilanis and determined to subdue them.
