c12.73

The new king shared the fate of all usurpers, and several conspiracies were formed against him, which he repressed with ferocious severity. In one, the Burhā Gohāin was concerned, and he and his fellow conspirators were tortured to death by the barbarous expedient of placing live coals in their mouths. On another occasion the Bar Gohāin helped some of the persons implicated to make good their escape. As a punishment, he was stripped naked and whipped, and made to eat the flesh of his own son and was then tortured to death.
