Having put that person to death for a trifling fault, he would become apprehensive of his tribe and relations, and would persuade himself that they could never be pacified. He would therefore set about their extermination, sparing neither suckling babes nor women with child; but punishing them all, from mature men to the child at the breast, so that after he had been satisfied a thousand times with their death, they died with thankfulness (as has been related before). In short, towards the end of his life, Mirza Aba Bakr entrusted his army and all military affairs to Mir Vali, placing the administration of the State and the people in the hands of Shah Dana Kukildash. These two men fulfilled their duties with the utmost possible diligence. - [Previous: 161](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.161) - [Next: 162.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.162.2) - [Up: 162](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.162) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.162.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.162.1) · Pramāṇa
