c17.s6.7

Over two *mahals*, yielding a revenue of from 75,000 to 1,25,000 *hun* in the aggregate, a *subahdar* on 400 *hun* and a *majmuadar* on 100 to 125 *hun* a year were appointed. The *subahdar* was to have a *palki* allowance of 400 *hun*. All civil and military officers with a salary of 125 *hun* or more were given the right to hold parasols (*aftab-gir*) over their heads, with an allowance from the State for bearers (Sabh. 31.) Where necessary, a subahdar was posted over a tract yielding only one lakh of Rupees. To the disturbed provinces across the frontier, a military force was sent with the collectors of blackmail. (Sabh. 32.) The subahdars were all Brahmans, under the Peshwa's supervision (Sabh. 77.)
