Muntakhab al-tawarikh 22.4.5

22.4.5

Elephant-bestower, I desire a desert place in Badāon, even though these regions are the abodes of the wolf and rhinoceros and the lion.
As long as the lion and the elephant are co-partners in awe, and the wolf and the rhinoceros are alike in writing, so long may your wolf-crafty enemy, Oh rhinoceros-destroyer and elephant-like in strength, be humbled in the dust before the lion of your portico.
May your enemies bereft of life become like the lions and elephants and wolves and rhinoceros at the end of the stony line in the public baths.
