Afrasiab Arms His Garrison

From C4.20, Kay Khosrow Answers Jahan. It illustrates C4.20.66–68:

  • C4.20.66
    Then Jahan went before his father’s throne,And made each word of Khosrow’s answer known.
  • C4.20.67
    The answer roused Afrasiab to ire;His heart was pain, his thoughts impatient fire.
  • C4.20.68
    He gave his troops his hoards and dirhams bright,With gorzes, swords, and helms and crowns for fight.
