Also in Baghdad, where the Imam Musa reposes, was a fire-temple called _Shet Piráyi_ (decoration): and in the place where rest the remains of the great Imam _Abu Hanifah_, of Kufah, was a temple called _Húryar_ (sun’s friend): also in Kufah, on the site of the mosque, was a fire-temple called _Roz-Azar_ (the day of fire): and in the region of Tús, on the site of Imam Resa’s shrine, was a fire-temple called _Azar Khirad_ (the fire of intellect)――it was also known by many other appellations, and owes its erection to Faridún.――Also when _Tús_, the son of _Názar_,[280] came to visit _Azar-i-Khirad_, he laid near it the foundation of a city which was called after his name.[281]――In Balkh, where is now the sanctuary of the Imam, formerly stood a temple called _Mahin Azar_ (great fire), now known under the name of _Nóbahár_. In Ardebil,[282] the ancient _Dizh-i-Bahman_[283] (Bahman’s fort), Kai Khosrú, on reducing the citadel, constructed there a fire-temple called _Azari-Káus_,[284] which now serves as the burial place of the shaikh Sufi Ud-Din, the ancestor of the Safavean princes:[285] they also assert that there were fire-temples in several parts of India: as in _Dwaraka_,[286] was the temple of Saturn, called _Dizh-i-Kaivan_ (Saturn’s fort), which the Hindoos turned into _Dwaraka_: and in Gya also was an idol temple, called _Gah-i-Kaivan_, or “Saturn’s residence,” which was turned into Gya.[287]――In Mahtra also was an idol temple of Saturn, the name of which was _Mahetar_, that is the chiefs or _mahetar_ resorted thither; which word by degrees became _Mahtra_.[288]――In like manner several places among the Christians and other nations bore names which show them to have been idol-temples. When the _Abadian_ come to such places, they visit them with the accustomed reverence, as, according to them holy places are never liable to abomination or pollution, as they still remain places of worship and adoration: both friends and foes regarding them as a Kiblah, and sinners, notwithstanding all their perverseness, pray in those sacred edifices. Rai Gópí Nath[289] thus expresses himself: O Shaikh! behold the dignity of my idol-house; Even when destroyed, it remains the house of God!
