The Army of the Indian Moghuls: Its Organization and Administration c7.s1.6

c7.s1.6

The hot iron was applied on the horse’s thigh (*Seir*, i, 481, note 27). The signs used in Akbar’s reign are given in the *Āīn*, i, 139, 255, 256; but in the end he adopted a system of numerals. In *‘Ālamgīrs* reign and about that time there were twenty different brands (*tamghah*), of which the shapes of fifteen have been preserved and are reproduced below (B.M. N°. 6599, fol. 161a). I am not certain of the spelling, and in most instances I am utterly unable to suggest a meaning for the names.
