100 DYNASTY OF THE KAJARS.
Zemaun Shah, he, not esteeming himself able to main
tain his ground, turned his face to the valley of flight;
and thus capricious Fortune, in her sport, gave into
the hands of Prince Mahmud the reins of authority
over Kandahar. Having left his son Kamran in that
country, he advanced rapidly towards Caboul, and
there deprived of the ornament of sight Shah
Zemaun, who had himself formerly closed the eyes
of his brother Kamran, who had only beheld for a
few days the heart-adorning beauty of royal power.
In this manner Mahmud raised the standard of
sovereignty to the heavens. Prince Kaisar, son to
Shah Zemaun, who by his father's orders had been
appointed Governor of Herat, being alarmed at the
approach of his uncle Firoz Mirza, brother to
Prince Mahmud, seizing, through terror, the strong
cable of royal aid, set out for the crown-bearing so
vereign's celestial Durbar A public or private audience held by a high-ranking British colonial representative (e.g. Viceroy, Governor-General, or member of the British royal family). . The king, the asylum
of the world, omitted no mark of respect toward
him; but, on the contrary, raised his dignity to the
Polar Star by a succession of royal favours. When
his majesty had ended the enjoyment of the chace,
he cast the light of equity on the heads of those
who repose in the shade of the capital, and, by the
arrival there of the auspicious train, conferred
honour, with augmented splendor and lustre, on
the inhabitants of Teheran.
