c12.s7.4

The monasteries (*khankas*) when not endowed by private donors, received larger subsidies from the Government, and they were expected to play the part of the Cathedrals of Christendom in fostering theological learning and general education. The Delhi Government gave allowances to families of famous scholars (who taught pupils in their own houses) at Sarhind, Sialkot and some other towns. But these schools died out when the families ceased to produce learned men.
