Then Yaroslav related to his father everything in order; and soon the
feast was prepared, and they all made merry, and were in great joy at
Yaroslav's return. Then began Yaroslav Lasarevich to praise the
bravery of his son, and to tell how he had overthrown Tsars and
powerful knights; whereat all the princes and boyars marvelled at his
bravery, and declared there were no other such knights in the world as
these, father and son, and that no one could stand against them.
Yaroslav Lasarevich subdued many cities to his dominion; and many
others, when they heard of his bravery, surrendered voluntarily to his
power. And he sat upon the throne in good health for twenty years, and
his age was forty-and-nine years and three months when he died. His
wife, Anastasia Vorcholomeievna, wept and was inconsolable for the
loss of her husband, and she also soon died of grief. And her son
Yaroslav wept for his father, the mighty knight Yaroslav Lasarevich,
and long too wept for his mother. Soon after he mounted the throne of
his father, and ruled with renown and glory.
