These gentlemen (the generals) have generally each in his stable fifty, a hundred, and up to two hundred horses for show or service. On the day of the review they equip their servitors and mount them on these horses, and pass them off as soldiers, putting to the account of profit the pay these men draw. In every quarter of the empire there are officials who keep an eye on everything, or, at least, ought to do so; for, being at a distance from the court, they do not acquit themselves of their duty as loyal subjects ought. But they are negligent by reason of the presents given them to that intent by the persons interested. Owing to these considerations they practise concealment, and never dream of enforcing the performance of duties. Many a time have I witnessed this. Those who ought to keep fifty horses, more or less, very frequently have no more than six to eight, and entertain no soldiers, although there are men ready to enlist with branded horses, such as I have described. To all these regulations they pay little or no heed, thinking solely of their own enjoyments, without troubling about anything else. - [Previous: 210.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.210.2.5) - [Next: 210.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.210.2.7) - [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.210.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.210.2.6) · Pramāṇa
