c19.s1.28

In contemporary Kashmir the soldiers, when out on duty, were paid an additional allowance (20) as was the practice of the East India Company for some time at the beginning of its career. We do not know whether the practice in Kashmir prevailed in the Deccan of our period as well. It is, however, not unlikely that the soldiers may have been paid, when out on a campaign, an additional allowance by the Rāṣṭrakūṭas as well, since such an allowance was calculated to infuse greater enthusiasm in the army.
