v1.c12.177

"I have learned that the Turks have rebelled against you and are spreading in Khurāsān. If you wish, I shall come to you with 5,000 horsemen, 10,000 foot soldiers and 100 elephants, or if you wish, I shall send you my son with double the number. In acting thus, I do not speculate on the impression which this will make on you. I have been conquered by you, I do not wish that another man should conquer you."¹
