When the last pair comes, the betting is everywhere on the deer. A fourth part of what people take from each other in Mal fights, is given to the victorious wrestler. The presents which His Majesty makes on such occasions, have no limits. The rule is that every one of such as keep animals brings on the fourteenth night of the moon one deer to the fight. The Bitikchi of this department appoints half the number of deer as Áíns, and the other half as Átháls. He then writes the names of the Átháls on paper slips, folds them up, and takes them to His Majesty, who takes up one. The animal chosen has to fight with an Áín. As such nights are clear, fights are generally announced for that time. Besides, there are two other classes of deer, kotal, and half kotal. The number of each is fixed. As often the number of kháçah deer decreases, the deficiency is made up from the kotal deer; and the deficiency in the number of kotals is made up from half kotals. One pair of kotals also is brought to the fight, so that they may be tried. Hunters supply continually wild deer, and bring them to His Majesty, who fixes the price. A fat superior deer costs 2 M.; a thin superior one, 1 M. to 15 R.; a fat middling one, 12 R.; Do. lean, 8 R.; a third class fat one, 7 R.; Do. thin, 5 R.; a fourth class fat one, 4 R.; Do. lean, 2½ to 2 R. - [Previous: 145.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.145.4) - [Next: 145.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.145.6) - [Up: 145](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.145) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.145.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.145.5) · Pramāṇa
