One is called Tuman, which means peasantry: they are dependent upon the Khan, and pay their taxes to him yearly. Another class is called Kuchin, which means soldiery, who are all dependent upon my relations. A third is called Imak \[or Aimak\], all of whom receive a fixed revenue \[mukata'a\] of grain, cloth and the like. These people are also dependent upon my relations. The fourth class are the controllers of legal jurisdiction, and the custodians of religious houses and pious foundations; most of these are of my family. They need not, however, be specified in this place. - [Previous: 155.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.2.7) - [Next: 155.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.2.9) - [Up: 155.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.2.8) · Pramāṇa
