- **Language:** English

### [210.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.210.2.1)

The queens and princesses are paid half from the royal treasury and half in land or in rents, which always yield more than the amount in exchange for which they have been granted. All the other women of the royal household are paid in ready money. Some of the chief physicians and some men of learning are also paid as the queens and princesses are, in proportion to their allowances. For paying the great multitude of people in the prince's service four places \[of payment\] are fixed, where all is carried out with much order. The persons who have three sadis of pay and higher rates, as far as seven hazaris, are required to maintain horses according to their pay. For this purpose they have assignments which produce a good revenue. A man getting the pay of a hazari in the first class is obliged to keep two hundred and fifty horsemen of different races—that is to say, sixty-four Pathans, sixty-four Mughals, sixty-four Rajputs; the remainder are Saiyids, Shekhzadahs, and so forth. The regulation still observed up to this day was made by King Akbar.
