Mughal Administration c14.s2.13

c14.s2.13

Two Marathi works, namely the *Sabhasad Bakhar* (written in 1694) p. 95 and the *Chitnis Bakhar of Shivaji*, (written in 1810), p. 76, give a different list of the twelve, which is due partly to their writers having made a confusion between treasuries and stores and partly also to the probability of the Maratha administrative system having been in some respects a departure from its Mughal model and exemplar. These treasuries are called the *Bārā Mahāl* or *Kosh* and named *fota*, *saudagari*, *palki*, *kothi*, *imarat*, *paga*, *seri* (or *sair-i-bagh*), *daruni*, *thatti*, *tankshal* or mint, *chhabina*, and *bahili* (variant, *jamdarkhanah* or wardrobe).
