16.2.4

There was at that time, in the city of Kambāya, on the shores of India, a Sheikh of considerable power, and note, named the Sheikh Ali Haidarī, to whom the merchants and seafaring men made many votive offerings. This Sheikh was in the habit of making many predictions for them. But when the Kazi Jalāl Oddīn Afgānī rebelled against the Emperor, it was told him that the Sheikh Haidarī had sent for this Kazi Jalāl Oddīn, and given him the cap off his own head. Upon this the Emperor set out for the purpose of making war upon the Kazi Jalāl Oddīn, whom he put to flight. He then returned to his palace, leaving behind him an Emīr, who should make inquiry respecting others who had joined the Kazi: the inquiry accordingly went on, and those who had done so were put to death. The Sheikh was then brought forward; and when it was proved that he had given his cap to the Kazi, he was also slain. The Sheikh Hūd, son of the Sheikh Bahā Oddīn Zakarīyā, was also put to death, on account of some spite which he would wreak upon him. This was one of the greatest Sheikhs. His crime was, that his uncle’s son had rebelled against the Emperor, when he was acting as governor in one of the provinces of India. So war was made upon him, and being overcome, his flesh was roasted with some rice, and thrown to the elephants to be devoured: but they refused to touch it.
