Although in the course of time a man may get advanced as far as seven hazari (thousand), he remains always under the same obligation of maintaining four horses bearing the king's brand. All the horsemen who are mansabdars under the king must have impressed on the right flank of their horses a mark made like this y\*), which is the royal brand. From the day that they get this mark made their pay begins. The generals also cause a brand to be placed on the horses of their troopers, but it is made on the left flank. Their brand is usually the first letter of their name, and their men's pay begins also on the day that the brand is imprinted. Every horseman in the king's service must have a Turkish horse, and not one reared in India. The latter are timid and restive. They must also equip themselves with armes blanches and a coat of mail. The princes of the blood royal administer their households in the same manner, but from the pay of their soldiers there is a deduction of twenty per cent. - [Previous: 210.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.210.2.2) - [Next: 210.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.210.2.4) - [Up: 210.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.210.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.210.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.210.2.3) · Pramāṇa
