Piran Kisses the Ground Before the Khan

From B13.19, The Coming of the Khan of Chin. It illustrates B13.19.1–9:

B13.19.1
When Piran reached the allied camp, so vastThat hooves hid plain and valley, thickly massed,
B13.19.2
The tents and rich enclosures filled the ground,With red and yellow, blue and violet crowned.
B13.19.3
Amid each camp a royal standard shone,Of diba and parniyan richly sewn.
B13.19.4
Amazed, he pondered on that wondrous show,And searched his heart to grasp what lay below.
B13.19.5
“Is this Paradise, or banquet bright,The starry heaven, or moon’s circling light?”
B13.19.6
Afoot he came and kissed the ground in greeting;The Khan received him gladly at their meeting.
B13.19.7
The Khan embraced him, marveling at his frame,His chest and neck, his stature and his fame.
B13.19.8
He questioned him at length, with honor shown,And seated Piran near him on the throne.
B13.19.9
He said: “My soul is bright with joy today,To sit beside a Pahlevan this way.”
