Chief residence of the Fire-worshippers. Stephen says they have kept the sacred fire alight above 3,000 years, without suffering it to go out for a second. The sacred fire is on the mountain After Quedah (Mansion of the Fire), and he is deemed unfortunate who dies away from the mountain. (Persia.) | 1 |
