From B9.33, Siavash Displays His Prowess before Afrasiab. It illustrates B9.33.90–97:

B9.33.90
One day they rode; the king brought hawks to fly,While hunting cheetahs bounded swiftly by.
B9.33.91
From Iran and from Turan riders came,And all assembled, eager for the game.
B9.33.92
The prince saw Gur-e-Khar upon the plain,And darted forth, and gave his steed the rein.
B9.33.93
His rein grew light, his stirrup pressed with weight,Through hill and hollow flew his charging gait.
B9.33.94
He struck a Gur-e-Khar and clove it clean,His flashing blade cut through with edge so keen.
B9.33.95
He judged the halves and found their balance true,Not one grain’s weight could part the equal two.
B9.33.96
The king and all his train looked on amazed,And praised the strength and skill the prince displayed.
B9.33.97
They cried: “What master stands before our eyes!”And gazed in silent wonder and surprise.
