Zal's Host Marches from Zabul

From B2.3, Zal Leads Iran against Afrasiab. It illustrates B2.3.1–8:

B2.3.1
A bead was struck in bowl on elephant’s back,Its voice rolled several mil along the track.
B2.3.2
The koust resounded, karnays split the sky,And elephants bore Indian daray high.
B2.3.3
From Zabul Resurrection rose and cried:“Rise, sleeping earth!”; the call rang far and wide.
B2.3.4
An army surged like lions toward the fray,Their hands washed red with blood along the way.
B2.3.5
In front rode Rostam, valor’s very seal,Behind, the chiefs in battle-hardened steel.
B2.3.6
Across each vale and meadow stretched the force,No crow could find above an open course.
B2.3.7
The tabiras thundered through the martial roar,Till head from foot could be discerned no more.
B2.3.8
Thus Zal advanced as spring adorned the land,And led from Zabul all his gathered band.
