Kirmansháh [500 km southwest of Tihran] awaited him with great impatience. The Prince Governor Muhammad-‘Alí Mírzá had sent the entire town to meet him and they had erected tents in which to receive him at Cháh-Qilán. The Prince went even beyond to the Táj-Ábád which lies four farsakhs distant [about 5 km] from the town.
