Tur Draws the Khanjar on Iraj
From A6.12, Iraj Is Slain. It illustrates A6.12.34–36:
- A6.12.34Tur heard, but not one answering word was said;Rage filled his heart and wind possessed his head.
- A6.12.35He drew from his boot a water-hued blade;A shroud of blood across Iraj was laid.
- A6.12.36That poison-bright and sharpened khanjar toreThe Kayanian breast and opened up its core.
