介绍（中）	狮子形的猿猴吞下了钦可汗和王后的爱女。他们不停地哀悼，但这只野兽太可怕了，没有人有勇气和能力杀死它。然后，伊朗英雄、曾经的王位争夺者巴赫拉姆·丘比纳来到钦，女王说服他摧毁了这只怪物。英雄毫不犹豫地发现并杀死了它，整个国家都欢欣鼓舞。有趣的是，史诗中对怪物的可怕描述被艺术家忽视了，他把它想象成一只体型过大的老虎——也许他无法想象会有更奇异的野兽。这种生物的山穴由其后面高耸的形状表示，无论多么小，弯曲的树木唤起了威胁的荒野。
介绍（英）	The lion-shaped ape monster had gulped down the beloved daughter of the Khaqan (khan) of Chin and his queen. They mourned without cease, but the beast was so fearsome that no one had the courage and prowess to kill it. Then the Iranian hero and one-time contender for the throne, Bahram Chubina, came to Chin and the queen prevailed upon him to destroy the monster. Unflinchingly, the hero found and killed it, and all the land rejoiced. Interestingly, the awesome description of the monster given in the epic was ignored by the artist, who pictured it as an oversize tiger—perhaps he could not imagine a more exotic beast. The creature's mountain lair is indicated by the towering shapes, however small, behind it, and the curving tree evokes the menacing wilderness.
