*Saranjam* — ‘Lands held in surinjam involve the condition of military service; the term is of Persian origin, meaning “furniture”, “apparatus”; implying that the lands are to defray the expense of equipment: in fact Surinjam is synonymous with military Jagheer.’ Sykes, *Special Report on the Statistics of the Four Collectorates of Dukhan under the British Government*, p. 286.
