\*\*AJNĀS\*\*, s. Ar. plur. of \*jins\*, ‘goods, merchandise, crops,’ etc. Among the Moguls it was used in the special sense of pay in kind, not in cash.\] \[c. 1665.—“It (their pay) is, however, of a different kind, and not thought so honourable, but the \*Rouzindars\* are not subject, like the \*Mansebdars\* (\*Munsubdar\*) to the \*Agenas\*; that is to say, are not bound to take, at a valuation, carpets, and other pieces of furniture, that have been used in the King’s palace, and on which an unreasonable value is sometimes set.”—\*Bernier\* (ed. Constable), 215-6.\]
