Tax for grazing bullocks taken from the \*banjāras\* (wandering grain-sellers) and other people. \*Mirāt\*, i. 260, explains it thus, "The collectors take one \*tanka\* under the name of \*gāu-charāi\* every time that bullocks of carts and pack-oxen are brought into the city and fed on purchased grass and stalks of millets (\*karbi\*)." The same authority refers (p. 263) to another practice,—"In the city of Patan, the officials by violence exact four \*Murādi tankas\* every year per head of sheep, eight annas per cow and one Rupee per buffalo, even though they may not be grazing at large (\*sāima\*) and their price is below the \*nisāb\* (the canonical minimum value for taxation)." - [Previous: c9.s8.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c9.s8.27) - [Next: c9.s8.29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c9.s8.29) - [Up: c9.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c9.s8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c9.s8.28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c9.s8.28) · Pramāṇa
