Bahman Castle Burns the Army of Tus

From B10.34, Bahman Castle Defies Tus and Fariborz. It illustrates B10.34.8–19:

B10.34.8
Then Tus advanced beneath Kaviani’s sign,With forty golden-shod chiefs kept in line.
B10.34.9
Fariborz held the center, proud and fine,While Tus led elephants, a sight divine.
B10.34.10
When they approached the fortress on the height,The earth breathed fire and burned with searing light.
B10.34.11
The spearheads glowed beneath the burning air,And warriors burned, all consumed by fire’s glare.
B10.34.12
The world was fire; no shelter could be found,And Ahriman’s dark snare was all around.
B10.34.13
Its battlements rose high to heaven’s vault;No warrior could wage a fair assault.
B10.34.14
Then Tus declared: “When warriors meet a foe,They cast their foeman’s head to dust below.
B10.34.15
With sword and bow, with arrow and kamand,They seek to strike the foe who makes his stand.
B10.34.16
But round this fortress not one path was shown;If any lay there, none to us was known.
B10.34.17
Our bodies boil beneath the jowshan’s heat,And mounts burn fiercely underneath our feet.
B10.34.18
Think well upon it: if you fail this day,No other man will ever force a way.”
B10.34.19
Seven days long they circled round that place,Yet nowhere could they find its gate or trace.
