This came to his ears, but instead of at once taking open steps against the conspirators, he caused a stockade for catching elephants to be constructed, and having caught some elephants, invited them to join him in celebrating the occasion by a feast. Cows and buffaloes were slain and, when the festivities were in full swing and all suspicion had been allayed, the conspirators were suddenly overpowered and put to death. According to a practice which was common amongst the Ahoms and many other Asiatic tribes, their heads were piled up in a heap as a trophy. - [Previous: c11.52](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c11.52) - [Next: c11.54](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c11.54) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c11.53](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c11.53) · Pramāṇa
