He ordained that twice a year he should be furnished with detailed accounts of the meritorious poor of his Empire, whom he then supplied with means sufficient to support them for six months, each receiving according to his wants. During his reign, nobles, shaikhs, and men of learning from the lands of Arabia and Persia, of Hind and Bukhára, induced to do so by his favour and benevolence, took up their residence at Ágra, where the King himself generally dwelt. During the fortunate reign of this monarch the fields were in a high state of cultivation, and merchants, peasants, and all God's creatures were enabled without danger to perform the duties of their respective occupations in ease and contentment. He always inquired strictly into the particulars of the lineage and ancestors of any one who came to him for service, and gave him an appointment corresponding to the dignity of his forefathers, bestowing a jágír without inspecting the applicant's horse and arms, and commanding him to equip himself from its revenues. The military profession was in his time a very honourable one. The public roads in his territory were so well secured that there was not a sign of highwaymen and robbers throughout all his dominions. - [Previous: 3.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.3.2.6) - [Next: 3.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.3.2.8) - [Up: 3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.3.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.3.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.3.2.7) · Pramāṇa
