A History of the Mahrattas v2.c35.45

- **Language:** English

### [v2.c35.45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c35.45)

It was evident that ‘a country of three complete lacks of rupees,’ as expressed in the treaty, meant territory producing annually a revenue amounting to three lacks of rupees complete; but the Persian word Kumal, or Kamil,¹ which was employed to express complete, is also a revenue term which, though variously explained, may be said to signify the highest assessment ever known to have been fixed; and to this interpretation the ministry adhered, although the Bombay government offered to accept the cession at an average of a certain number of years.
