C6.32.96
He neared the prince and let the arrow go;It struck his chest, a hard and telling blow.
C6.32.97
Esfandiyar hung sideways, feigning pain,His body drooping low beside the rein.
C6.32.98
Gorgsar believed the shaft pierced jowshan’s scale,And that the prince’s radiant form would fail.
C6.32.99
He drew his flashing sword and forward sped,Intent on cutting off the prince’s head.
C6.32.100
The prince, in fear of harm, prepared to throwThe coiled-up kamand from his saddle-bow.
C6.32.101
He called upon the Maker’s holy name,And cast the coil with sure and perfect aim.
C6.32.102
It caught Gorgsar around the neck and head;The warrior shook within the tightening thread.
C6.32.103
Esfandiyar hurled him down upon the ground,And bound his hands behind him, firm and sound.
