Qiran al-saʿdayn 5: Their Punishment.

5

When they were carried out from the royal presence they were put to the slaughter. "Spears without number bore their heads aloft, and looked denser than a forest of bamboos;" others were trodden to death by elephants. After several had been slaughtered in this manner, "the remnant were reserved to be paraded about from city to city; sometimes they had respite, at others punishment." The king then called for wine, and devoted himself, as usual, to pleasure and revelry.
