Puria Valley

In our Iranian culture, the art of fighting has always been closely linked with chivalry and self-honor, and sometimes there have been fighters who have reached the rank of saints and given the name "Vali", which is one of the most famous of these heroes.. The story of the life of this wrestler, who reached the peak of wrestling by failing and falling to the ground, has long been narrated in wrestling circles, pubs, and coffee houses..

Puria Wali or Pahlan Mahmoud Kharazmi was a man from the Ganja people and one of the contemporaries of Sheikh Mahmoud Shabastri. (First half of the 8th century) that the warrior of the body had gathered the warrior of the soul as he had brought down the backs and heroes of the time to the ground and had thrown the grinder of the soul to the ground and had become the King of the heart, as Hafez said.:

You won a good ball, be happy
You threw the cup of Ki Khosro Talab, an infidel

This mystic warrior also had a talent for poetry and a taste for writing. A masnavi called "Kanz al-Haqayq" is by him, and the following verses and quatrains are recorded in his name in the dictionary of Dehkhoda Raba'i.:

Heaven and hell are with you in your skin
Why are you looking outside, my friend?

If Talib Fayzi is a procrastinator
Never drink water from the ground that is high

When the wheels don't turn on us
It's our turn to shake the wheel
If there is an ant in our line
That ant should be taken from our government

At night, the Sultan's fighter sat down with his mother in a heartache that this new fighter will take my place and I will give up my job and livelihood.. Can you think of a way for the wrestler to withdraw from the race?
The mother said: It's a difficult task, but maybe I can penetrate his mother's heart and put some mercy in her heart that will encourage and encourage the son to maintain his reputation, his job and his livelihood.. So he immediately came to Puria's mother and told her about his son's state of affairs and anxiety and worry that my son has been a warrior in the court of the Sultan for several years and now he knows very well that he is not your son's opponent and that he and his wife and children are all They are afraid of what will happen from this failure.
