[Footnote !: Khoosroo  Purveez  was encamped on the banks of
          the Karasoo River  when  he  received the letter of Mahomed.
          He tore the  letter and threw it into the Karasoo.  For this
          action, the moderate  author of the Zeenut-ul- Tuarikh calls
          him  a  wretch,   and   rejoices   in   all  his  subsequent
          misfortunes. These impressions still exist.  I remarked to a
          Persian, when encamped  near  the Karasoo, in 1800, that the
          banks were very  high, which must make it difficult to apply
          its waters to  irrigation.   "It  once  fertilized the whole
          country," said the  zealous Mahomedan, "but its channel sunk
          with honor from its banks, when that madman, Khoosroo, threw
          our holy Prophet's  letter  into  its stream; which has ever
          since been accursed  and useless.  Malcolm's Persia, vol. i.
          p. 126 - M.]
