Thus the fire of war was burning, and the combatants of the two armies raged like hornets in the heat, and seized one another by the collar, and pierced each other's head and breast by the wounds of the sword; and heads were cast upon the battle-plain like balls, and wherever the elephants came into the engagement the Muslim army, with spears and arrows, cut through their throats and trunks. And these Kaffirs beheld the strength and experience of Abdullah-Tai, how active he was in battle and war, and in (shedding) blood and killing chiefs, and therefore they turned towards him with a compact band of warriors and with a number of heroes (literally, stirrers of the fire, pokers) and attacked him on all sides with severe wounds. And he withstood them like an excited male elephant, and to obtain victory for Islam exposed himself freely and offered his life a sacrifice to martyrdom. And when the Sultan saw him in the claws of that distress, he sent some stars from his special guards to help him, that they might rescue him from the claws of those accursed ones. And, as his body was all eyes, like a sieve, and his frame all rings, like a coat of mail, the Sultan ordered that they should place him upon an elephant, that the pain of his wounds might be healed, and receive refreshment and solace. > — James Reynolds 1858, The Kitab-i-Yamini - [Previous: 34.5](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.34.5) - [Next: 34.7](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.34.7) - [Up: 34](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.34) ## Translations (2) - [The Kitab-i-Yamini](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini~en-reynolds.38.4) — James Reynolds 1858, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini~en-mt.34.6) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.34.6](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.34.6) · Pramāṇa
