Many infidels were consequently slain or taken prisoners in this sudden attack, and the Musulmans paid no regard to the booty till they had satiated themselves with the slaughter of the infidels and worshippers of the sun and fire. The friends of God searched the bodies of the slain for three whole days, in order to obtain booty. The elephants were carried off, some by force, some were driven, and some went without any compulsion towards Mahmud, upon whom God bestows, out of his great kindness, not only ordinary plunder, but drives elephants towards him. Therefore they were called "God-brought," in gratitude to the Almighty for sending elephants to the Sultán, which are only driven by iron goads, and are not usually captured without stratagem and deceit; whereas, in this instance, they came of their own accord, leaving idols, preferring the service of the religion of Islám. \* \* \* The booty amounted in gold and silver, rubies and pearls, nearly to three thousand thousand dirhams, and the number of prisoners may be conceived from the fact, that each was sold for from two to ten dirhams. These were afterwards taken to Ghazna, and merchants came from distant cities to purchase them, so that the countries of Máwaráu-n nahr, 'Irák, and Khurasan were filled with them, and the fair and the dark, the rich and the poor, were commingled in one common slavery. > — Henry Miers Elliot & John Dowson 1869, Tárikh Yamíní (extracts) - [Previous: 46.32](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.46.32) - [Next: 46.34](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.46.34) - [Up: 46](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.46) ## Translations (2) - [Tárikh Yamíní (extracts)](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini~en-elliot.24.4) — Henry Miers Elliot & John Dowson 1869, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini~en-mt.46.33) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.46.33](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.46.33) · Pramāṇa
