45.1.4

Subsequently when the booty and the prisoners were brought to Muhammad Kasim, he made it widely known among the soldiery that Dahar’s wife Ladi and his two virgin daughters by another wife who had been in the fort, should be produced before him. This was done, and these ladies were given in charge of an attendant and seated apart from the other prisoners. In order to detach the usual one-fifth share of the State, a selection was made from the slaves and other spoils. The number of these selected slaves came to about 20,000. The rest were distributed among the troops. Those of the prisoners, who belonged to the classes of artisans, traders and common folk, were let alone, as Muhammad Kasim had extended his pardon to those people. He next came to the place of execution and in his presence ordered all the men belonging to the military classes to be beheaded with swords. It is said that about 6,000 fighting men were massacred on this occasion; some say 16,000. The rest were pardoned.
