He took care beforehand that those among his troops who should be guilty of any misdemeanour \[no doubt this was because their defeats, by Sultan Jalal-ud-Din, had made them feel themselves less sure of success than previously, and it was soon after the Sultan's overthrow of the two Mughal armies that this force was sent against Hirat, and before the Sultan's defeat on the Indus\] should be punished with death, but those who distinguished themselves should be fittingly rewarded. - [Previous: 265.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.265.5) - [Next: 265.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.265.7) - [Up: 265](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.265) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.265.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.265.6) · Pramāṇa
