The Administration of the Sultanate of Dehli c9.25

c9.25

⁴ Raverty's translation of the *Ṭabaqāt-i-Nāṣirī*, p. 287; *Ā'īn-i-Akbarī*, i, p. 4. Blochmann calls the *wakīl-u's-salṭanah* 'the emperor's lieutenant in all matters connected with the realm and the household' (i, p. v); but the text is "نائب ملکی و مالی باشد" which is more in accord with the context and should be translated as 'lieutenant in all political and financial matters.'
