"The Sultan [Balban] then turned to Lakhanauti and there inflicted a terrible punishment upon Tughrils followers. ‘On either side of the principal bazaar,” writes the historian Barani, ‘in a street more than two miles in length, a row of stakes was set up and the adherents of Tughril were impaled upon them. None of the beholders had ever seen a spectacle so terrible, and many swooned with terror and disgust.”"
