As specific instances of *Yukta* officers the *Kāśikā* mentions *go-saṅkhya* and *aśva-saṅkhya* who acted as census officers of royal cattle and horses and whose business it was to register their number, age and branding marks. Details of such a census of royal cattle held in the kingdom of Duryodhana occur in the Ghoshayātrāparva (Vanaparva, chs. 239-40).
