Though on several occasions we have officers invested with the title of \*sipah-salar\* or 'commander of troops,' it was only a mark of honour and they did not really command the \*entire\* Mughal army. The Emperor was the only commander-in-chief. - [Previous: c6.s5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c6.s5.2) - [Next: c6.s5.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c6.s5.4) - [Up: c6.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c6.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c6.s5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c6.s5.3) · Pramāṇa
