Muhammad Kasim ordered that if the military bowed their heads in submission they should not be killed. Ladi said "the people of this country are chiefly workmen, but some are merchants. The city is inhabited and its land cultivated by them, and the amount of the taxes will be realized from their earnings and tillage if the tribute is fixed on each person." Muhammad Kasim said, "Rani Ladi has ordered this," and he gave protection to all.
