And he cut off the feet of several thousands of others, with the excuse that: "if these men run away to another country, they will stir up revolt \[against me\]; in this manner I will keep them within my own kingdom, that they may not escape." Such were his acts of cruelty. \[In this book\] there is no place for a further record of them. Haply they are contained in the book of the Most Merciful of Scribes. On this account, I will now close the description of these repulsive matters. The rest of Mirza Abu Bakr's reign will be related presently. - [Previous: 139.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.139.8) - [Next: 140.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.140.1) - [Up: 139](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.139) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.139.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.139.9) · Pramāṇa
