Parthian meaning in gujarati

પાર્થિયન

  • Definitions

    1. Relating to Parthia or Parthians.

    પાર્થિયા અથવા પાર્થિયનો સાથે સંબંધિત.

  • Examples:
    1. Midway in the mound is a platform of large bricks stamped with the names of Sargon of Akkad and his son Naram-Sin (3800 B.C.); as the débris above them is 34 ft. thick, the topmost stratum being not later than the Parthian era (H. V. Hilprecht, The Babylonian Expedition, i. 2, p. 23), it is calculated that the débris underneath the pavement, 30 ft. thick, must represent a period of about 3000 years, more especially as older constructions had to be levelled before the pavement was laid.

    2. The king’s cavalry are also trained to an exercise called the keykaj, which consists in turning about on the saddle at full speed and firing a carbine backward. This they learn from their childhood, and it gives them great confidence and dexterity on horseback. It is probably a remnant of the old Parthian custom so frequently alluded to in ancient authors; with this difference, that fire-arms are now used instead of bows and arrows.

  • 2. Delivered as if in retreat. (An allusion to the Parthian battle tactic of firing arrows backwards from horseback while apparently in retreat.)

    એકાંતમાં હોય તેમ વિતરિત. (દેખીતી રીતે પીછેહઠ કરતી વખતે ઘોડા પરથી પાછળની તરફ તીર ચલાવવાની પાર્થિયન યુદ્ધ યુક્તિનો સંકેત.)

  • Examples:
    1. Finally the blue dells and gorges of a wooded mountain, for two hours our landmark, rose between us and the sun. But the sun’s Parthian arrows gave him a splendid triumph, more signal for its evanescence. A storm was inevitable, and sunset prepared a reconciling pageant.

    2. She was tired of dancing; it was getting very late; she must go to mamma;—and, without another word, she sprang away from Harry Foker’s arm, and seized upon Pen’s, who was swaggering about the dancing-room, and again said, “Mamma, mamma!—take me to mamma, dear, Mr. Pendennis!” transfixing Harry with a Parthian shot, as she fled from him.

    3. So that poor Brunout has nothing for it but to retreat with accelerated nimbleness, through rank after rank; Parthian-like, fencing as he flies

    4. With which Parthian shot he walked away, leaving the two rivals open-mouthed behind him.

Parthian meaning in gujarati

પાર્થિયન

  • Definitions

    1. A native or inhabitant of Parthia.

    પાર્થિયાનો વતની અથવા રહેવાસી.

  • Examples:
    1. The Parthians, in whose hands the empire of the east now is, having divided the world, as it were, with the Romans, were originally exiles from Scythia. This is apparent from their very name; for in the Scythian language exiles are called Parthi.
