dynasty of the kajars.
of arms was diffused in every direction ; the hoofs
of horses tore up the hard flints; the lightning-
footed steeds began to neigh; and the dragon-like
cannon poured out, in profusion, volumes of flame
and peals of thunder : the clouds of dust raised by
the armies turned the bright day into night: the
expanse of the atmosphere, from the loud-resounding
zambooraks, became agitated: the flashes from the
star-eclipsing muskets filled the vault oi heaven
with smoke. When the sun of majesty arose above
the horizon of the road, the Prince Viceroy dis
mounted, and, scarcely distinguishing his head from
his feet, advanced to the imperial stirrup*: the fire
of affection then burst into flames, and tears of joy
involuntarily flowed from his eyes; an event which
excited the sympathy of all present, so that the eyes
of great and small, who witnessed this scene, were
suffused with tears. His majesty, the shadow of God,
having accurately surveyed the lines of infantry and
cavalry, the soldiers and body-guards, the engines
and military stores, bestowed exceeding commenda
tion on all. On his arrival in the camp splendid as
the heavens, the chiefs, Sardars, the distinguished
men among the soldiery and cultivators, the eminent
men, nobles, judges, and persons of merit and
learning, seeking in crowds eagerly to pay their re
spects to his Paradise-like majesty, obtained the
honour of notice and distinction, by admission to the
presence beaming with splendor.
* That is, he bowed so low.
