Over and above all these items, he seizes everything left by his generals, officers, and other officials at their death, in spite of having declared that he makes no claim on the goods of defunct persons. Nevertheless, under the pretext that they are his officers and are in debt to the Crown, he lays hold of everything. If they leave widows, he gives them a trifle every year and some land to furnish a subsistence. He also causes the goods of merchants to be seized if they die without heirs. Again, added to all that, he receives very considerable presents from the Hindu princes, zamindars, and their servants. The rajahs, the generals of the army, and the commanders are made to contribute a certain sum, according to the number of Hindus in their service. Usually this is taken as a deduction from the pay disbursed to them. The king's sons even are not exempted, and Shah 'Alam, my prince, paid in my day eighty thousand rupees a year. These revenues amount to something near the same total as the revenue from grain, of which I gave the figures above. - [Previous: 213.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.213.4) - [Next: 213.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.213.6) - [Up: 213](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.213) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.213.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.213.5) · Pramāṇa
