Ghatfar's Riders Seize the Caravan

Ghatfar's Riders Seize the Caravan

From E1.4, Ghatfar Defeated, Faghanish Crowned. It illustrates E1.4.28–32:

  • E1.4.28
    Ride out at once and intercept the train;Let not the envoy’s life or gifts remain.”
  • E1.4.29
    He chose from all his troops a man of name,A chief whose courage matched his violent aim.
  • E1.4.30
    He bade him seize the camel-train entire,The laden beasts, the steeds in rich attire.
  • E1.4.31
    They slew the envoy; all his guards were killed,And every soldier’s hands with spoil were filled.
  • E1.4.32
    One horseman of the Chin troops fled away,And brought the Khan the tidings of that day.
