The fair copy of the farman, written in a large and beautiful hand, on paper sprinkled with gold dust, was sealed, rolled up, and put in a long narrow bag of cloth of gold, the mouth of which was tied with coloured strings and sealed on wax with the seals of the wazir. Such bags were called kharitas, [Ain, i. 264 ; Purchas, ix. 50.] Many of these are still preserved in the Jaipur Palace.
