We have certain figures from which we can judge of the comparative burden of this religious impost. In Gujarāt the land revenue yielded 11 million rupees and the *jizya* 500,000. In the city of Burhānpur (1682) the total assessment under this head seems to have been over 850,000 rupees. The police were under orders to chastise those Hindus who delayed in making payment.
