Majalis al-salatin 3: Revenues of Hindustan and the Dakhin.

It also entered into the mind of this "most humble slave of God" to write a short account of the different provinces of Hindustan, and make it a portion of this small work, detailing how much of this country was in possession of the Emperor Jalalu-d din Muhammad Akbar and his son Nuru-d din Jahangir, and into how many subas it is now divided.
Be it not concealed that the whole country of Hindustan, which is known to form one-fourth of the inhabited world, and reckoned as the largest of all the countries, is divided into fourteen sūbas, or provinces.
First, the Province of Dehli; revenue upwards of 65,61,00,000 dams. Second, the Province of Āgra, which is the seat of government; revenue 82,25,00,000 dams. Third, the Province of the Panjāb, or Lahore; present revenue, 82,50,00,000 dams. Fourth, the Province of Kābul, including Kashmīr, etc.; revenue 25,00,00,000 dams. Fifth, the Province of the Dakhin, or Ahmadnagar; revenue 28,35,00,000 dams. Sixth, the Province of Khāndesh and Birār; revenue 87,32,00,000 dams. Seventh, the Province of Mālwa; revenue 28,00,00,000 dams. Eighth, the Province of Gujarāt; revenue 50,64,00,000 dams. Ninth, the Province of Bihār, including Patnā and Jaunpūr; revenue 31,27,00,000 dams. Tenth, the Province of Oudh with its dependencies; revenue 23,22,00,000 dams. Eleventh, the Province of Ajmīr with its dependencies; revenue 42,05,00,000 dams. Twelfth, the Province of Allahābād; revenue 30,70,00,000 dams. Thirteenth, the Province of Sind, including Multān, Thatta and Bhakkar; revenue 40,00,00,000 dams. Fourteenth, the Province of Bengal, which is equal to two or three kingdoms; revenue 50,00,00,000 dams.
The revenue of all the territories under the Emperors of Dehli amounts, according to the Royal registers, to six arbs and thirty krors of dams. One arb is equal to a hundred krors (a kror being ten millions), and a hundred krors of dams are equivalent to two krors and fifty lacs of rupees. Each of the fourteen provinces above mentioned formed the territory of a powerful king, and was conquered by the sword of the servants of the Chaghatāīs. Nine of these fourteen provinces have been visited by the poor compiler of this book, and the following is a detail of them.
