He writes:—"The province (i.e., jāgir) in Shāhji's possession intended for the support of the royal family may produce about seven lakhs per annum. . . . Shāhji takes the greatest part of it for himself, and a great deal must be given to the Marātha chiefs, to be supported and continued in his office." \[Compton, 83-86.\] - [Previous: v4.c55.s3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c55.s3.3) - [Next: v4.c55.s3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c55.s3.5) - [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.s3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c55.s3.4) · Pramāṇa
