If he sees an old horse, or one unfit to gallop, or vicious, he gives the trooper an order at once to buy another within a fixed number of days. All over the kingdom are officials with the same name of Bakhshī, who are continuously employed on the same duty. When his Majesty orders that any general with his regiment, or any captain with his company, should be sent on the march anywhere, it is necessary for that officer to appear on the river bank within sight of the palace windows and parade the whole of his cavalry and infantry. Three days after the inspection he must begin his march. The soldiers are extremely careful, when passed thus in review, to appear with their full equipment, and to have their arms in the best order, for otherwise they would be discharged on the instant. Usually captains and generals keep in their stables one or two hundred horses, which are used both for show and service. On the day appointed for a parade they mount their servants on these horses; these men are also enrolled as soldiers. But only the true income and pay are received from the prince; and the officers have no other profit from these extra men beyond appearing at the head of some well-clad and excellent horsemen on the day fixed for the parade. - [Previous: 374.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.374.1) - [Next: 374.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.374.3) - [Up: 374](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.374) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.374.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.374.2) · Pramāṇa
