Kamrah for the purpose of giving battle, the fire
of the triumphant sovereign's indignation blazed on

gage at that station, and appointing Mahdy Kuly
Khan Kajar, with Hajy Ibrahim of Shiraz, to de-
nd the camp, he gave orders to the army to
march on with expedition and without baggage:
and the lion-hearted king, accompanied by chosen
soldiers, reared to the skies his splendid pavilion at
two farsangs' distance from Husain's encampment.
