The Lineage of the Builders

Blessed are the homes of the builders, the people who made the earth flourish. Japheth was a builder of fortunate nature, and the Chaldean spring kept his memory alive. Even now, of that bright-minded people, I see no one left but the Abkhaz and the Circassians. Perhaps Siamak himself was of that line, the one who always lived among the mountains. In the Indian tongue his name was Shiva, the one who stood upright before the Creator. When he took up the path and custom of devotion, his life rose above the demons.
