In the Persian epic poem Amir Arsalan, what kind of weapon is Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegār?
Amir Arsalan Amir Arsalan-e Namdar (Persian: امیر ارسلان نامدار‎ ‎ ) is a popular Persian epic, which was told to Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar, the Qajar Shah of Persia in the 19th century (though the Persian legend itself is much older), by a storyteller named "Mohammad Ali Naqib al-Mamalek" (Persian: میرزا محمدعلی نقیب‌الممالک‎ ‎ ). Mohammad never transcribed the poem himself, but the daughter of the Shah—who also loved the story—eventually transcribed it and preserved it for history.
Chakram The chakram (Sanskrit: ; Punjabi: ; Malay: "cakeram" ) is a throwing weapon from India. It is circular in shape with a sharpened outer edge and ranges in size from approximately 12 - in diameter. It is also known as chalikar‌ meaning "circle", and was sometimes referred to in English writings as a "war-quoit". The chakram is primarily a throwing weapon but can also be used hand-to-hand. A smaller variant called "chakri" was worn on the wrist. A related weapon is the "chakri dang", a bamboo staff with a chakri attached at one end.
