as his opponent, and as the defender of the orthodox faith of the Sun- 

 nis: Hisamodi'n had obtained the title of Pi'r Roshan (father light) 

 among his own sect, and that of Pi'R Tari'k (father darkness) 

 among the Sunnis. Akhun Darveza petitioned the king who gave 

 orders to the governor of Cabal to co-operate with him in exterminat- 

 ing the infidel Shiahs. These two laid many snares to entrap their 

 opponent, who evaded their pursuit, accompanied by a body of 200 

 cavalry, by reversing the shoes of their horses. He escaped and his 

 fate is not known ; but his three sons were secured and put to death. 

 The labors of Pi/r Roshan were particularly successful in the district 

 of lira, where he had 60,000 disciples ; who on the disappearance of 

 their preceptor, returned to their former belief.
