Giv Rides into the Ford under Piran's Banner
From B10.24, Giv Captures Piran. It illustrates B10.24.15–21:
- B10.24.15He seized Piran’s banner in his hand,And rode to Gulzaryun where troops still stand.
- B10.24.16The Turanians saw their leader’s standard rise,And hurried forward, fooled by their own eyes.
- B10.24.17A shout arose with karnay sounding high,With bronze-toned ney and Indian bells nearby.
- B10.24.18Then Giv entered the water like a ship,Driven by waves beneath their surging grip.
- B10.24.19He raised his heavy gorz above the tide;The army stared in wonder from its side.
- B10.24.20With reins held light and stirrups firm in place,He struck their ranks and drove them in disgrace.
- B10.24.21With sword and driving force and violent blows,He cast them down and scattered all their rows.
