Thirdly, when ’Azaduddaulah went to Khándésh, the Rájah estimated the value of muhurs that had been expressed in Jalálah rupees, in round rupees; and from his obstinate and wrangling disposition, fixed again the deficiencies on muhurs and rupees according to the old rates. Fourthly, when Qulij Khán received the charge of the government, he adopted the Rájah’s manner of estimating the muhurs; but he deducted ten dáms for a deficiency in the weight of a muhur, for which the Rajah had deducted five dáms; and twenty dáms, for the former deduction of ten dáms; whilst he considered every muhur as bullion, if the deficiency was 1½ surkhs. Similarly, every rupee, the deficiency of which was one surkh, was considered as bullion. - [Previous: 23.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.23.4) - [Next: 23.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.23.6) - [Up: 23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.23) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.23.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.23.5) · Pramāṇa
