The Institutes of Akbar 109: REGULATIONS FOR THE JILAWANAH.

109

Whenever a horse is given away as a present, the price of the horse is calculated fifty per cent. higher, and the recipient has to pay ten dáms upon every muhur of the value of the horse. These ten dáms per muhur are divided as follows:—The Atbegi gets five dams; the Jilaubegi, two and a half; the Mushrif, one and a quarter; the Naqibs, nine jetals; the grooms, a quarter dam; the Tahcildar, fifteen jetals; the remainder is equally divided among the Zindar and Akhtachi.
In this country, horses commonly live to the age of thirty years. Their price varies from 500 muhurs to 2 Rupees.
