Tur Draws the Khanjar on Iraj

Tur Draws the Khanjar on Iraj

From A6.12, Iraj Is Slain. It illustrates A6.12.34–36:

  • A6.12.34
    Tur heard, but not one answering word was said;Rage filled his heart and wind possessed his head.
  • A6.12.35
    He drew from his boot a water-hued blade;A shroud of blood across Iraj was laid.
  • A6.12.36
    That poison-bright and sharpened khanjar toreThe Kayanian breast and opened up its core.
