He does not give a farthing of money to the Pādishāh or any of his people. . . . Regularly every day he furnishes the old king with two \*seers\* of \*pilau\* and eight \*seers\* of meat; this with two loaves of bread, about the length each of a cubit, to suffice for five persons,—(namely the Emperor, his doctor, Prince Akbar Shah, a little favourite daughter, and one of his 200 \*begams\* in turn.) The rest of the royal household, without distinction, Princes and Princesses, nay Queens and all eunuchs and female slaves, have two \*seers\* a day of barley flour for every three persons, which they are to bake for themselves. . . . The old Nizām of Hyderabad sent the King six years ago 6,000 gold \*mohars\*. They every farthing got into the Cowrie Father’s hands, and remain there”. - [Previous: v4.c55.s3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c55.s3.1) - [Next: v4.c55.s3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c55.s3.3) - [Up: v4.c55.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c55.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c55.s3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c55.s3.2) · Pramāṇa
