c11.t6.33

The order in respect of a grant was often addressed to subordinates and officials as well as to the inhabitants of the area where the donated land or village was situated. In early charters sometimes the item is altogether absent or only the governor or the villagers are addressed in respect of the grants.³ But the list of state officials is generally more or less lengthy in some of the later records especially of Northern India. Such big lists often include subordinate rulers, fief-holders, officers of the revenue department as well as those of the police, the judiciary and the military department and some members of the royal household.
