6 *Dhruva*: fixed or permanent, is the hereditary officer in charge of the records and accounts of a village, Talathi or Kulkarni of the modern times. One of the chief duties of the Dhruva was to see that revenue farmers did not take more than the royal share. The name is still in use in Cutch where village accountants are called Dhru or Dhruva. Dhru is also a common surname among Nagar Brahmins and Modh and other Vanias in Cutch, Gujarat and Kathiawad.
