He has divided the army, on account of the multitude of the men, into several classes, and has thereby secured the peace of the country. With some tribes, His Majesty is content, if they submit; he does not exact much service from them, and thus leads many wild races towards civilization. The Zamíndárs of the country furnish more than four millions, four hundred thousand men, as shall be detailed below (Third Book). Some troopers are compelled by His Majesty to mark their horses with the Imperial brand. They are subject to divisions into ranks, and to musters. Some soldiers are placed under the care and guidance of one commander. They are called Ahadis, because they are fit for a harmonious unity. His Majesty believes some capable of commanding, and appoints them as commanders. A large number are worthy but poor; they receive the means of keeping a horse, and have lands assigned to themselves, without being obliged to mark their horses with the Imperial brand. Túránís and Persians get 25 Rupees; and Hindustánís, 20 R. If employed to collect the revenue, they get 15 R. Such troopers are called Baráwardí. Some Commanders who find it troublesome to furnish men, get a number of such soldiers as accept the Imperial brand. Such troops are called Dákhilís. - [Previous: 154](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.154) - [Next: 155.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.155.2) - [Up: 155](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.155) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.155.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.155.1) · Pramāṇa
