Note 177

177. We perceive that which secretly and stealthily diffuseth from thee. # 164

This passage is a reference to the intrigues of a group of &Azalis, followers of &Mirza &Yahya (see note 190), associated with the city of &Kirman. They include &Mulla &Ja'far, his son &Shaykh &Ahmad-i-Ruhi and &Mirza &Aqa &Khan-i-Kirmani (both sons-in-law of &Mirza &Yahya), as well as &Mirza &Ahmad-i-Kirmani. They not only sought to undermine the Faith, but involved themselves in political intrigues which culminated in the assassination of &Nasiri'd-Din &Shah.
