But they were not to beat the kettledrum in the imperial camp or capital, nor when holding public darbar in their provinces. As a special mark of favour for service of the highest importance, we read of a nobleman being permitted to strike up his kettledrums from the door of the imperial tent as he set out on his expedition. - [Previous: c11.39](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c11.39) - [Next: c11.41](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c11.41) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c11.40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c11.40) · Pramāṇa
