DYNASTY OF THE KAJARS.
The countenance of the Moon assumed a dark
hue; the path of the Milky-Way was burned up; and
the earth's surface, from the world-illuminating ex
plosions, resembled the sulphureous area of the hall
of the Last Judgment. In short, the foe-subduing
army of the prince (splendid as Feridoon) having ob

Khan, afterhis just and severe defeat, borrowing speed
from the lightning and the wind, sought refuge in the
Fort of Maku, one of the lofty forts of Khachur. The
stores, baggage, artillery, and military chest of his
army was shared amongst the victors. These brave
men, bold as Houshung, with spears like Gee'u, and
with drawn swords, pursued the multitude devoted
to an evil end : whomsoever they came up with felt
the weight of their merciless falchion ; and thus
many heads as well as prisoners were laid at the
feet of the Vicegerent. The military chiefs and
courtiers in attendance upon the vigilant prince,
elated by a victory which might have rejoiced the
spirit of Pir Dastan*, the echo of which might fill the
vault of heaven to the last link in the chain of time,
placed the foot of glory on the head of the Furka-
danf, and fixed the basis of their elevation above
the Seven Heavens. This victory opened wide the
portals of security and prosperity to Azarba'ijan.
The fame-seeking prince having come to Kho'ie,
ordered Pir Kuly Khan Kajar, of Sham Biyaty,
to remain there; and the victorious forces, moving
from Kho'ie, arrived at Tabreez. The cultiva
tors and other inhabitants of that country, some
