1. The A´tbegí is in charge of all horses belonging to the government. He directs all officers charged with the management of the horses. This office is one of the highest of the State, and is only held by grandees of high rank: at present it is filled by the Khán Khánán* (Commander-in-Chief). 2. The Dároghah. There is one appointed for each stable. This post may be held by officers of the rank of commanders of five thousand down to Senior Ahadís. 3. The Mushrif, or accountant. He keeps the roll of the horses, manages all payments and fines, sees that His Majesty's orders are carried out, and prepares the estimate of the stores required for this depart­ment. He is chosen from among the grandees. 4. The Dídahwar, or inspector. Their duty is occasionally to inspect the horses, before they are mustered by His Majesty; they also determine the rank and the condition of the horses. Their reports are taken down by the Mushrif. This office may be held by Mansabdárs or Ahadís. 5. The Akhtachís look after the harness, and have the horses saddled. Most of them get their pay on the list of the Ahadís. 6. The Chábuksuwár rides the horses, and compares their speed with the road, which is likewise taken down by the Mushrif. He receives the pay of an Ahadí. 7. The Hádá. This name is given to a class of Rájpúts, who teach horses the elementary steps. Some of them get their pay on the list of the Ahadís. 8. The Mírdahah is an experienced groom placed over ten servants. He gets the pay of an Ahadí: but in other kháçah stables, he only gets 170 d.; in the country-bred stables, 160 d.; in the other Síaspí stables, 140 d.; in the Bístaspí stables, 100 d.; and in the Dah-aspí stables, 30 d. Besides he has to look after two horses. 9. The Baiṭár, or horse-doctor, gets the pay of an Ahadí. 10. The Naqíb, or watcher. Some active, intelligent men are retained for supervision. They report the condition of each stable to the Dároghahs and the Mushrif, and it is their duty to have the cattle in readiness. The two head Naqíbs are Ahadís, and they have thirty people under them, who receive from 100 to 120 d. 11. The Sáis, or groom. There is one groom for every two horses. In the Chihilaspí stables, each groom gets 170 d.; in the stables of the eldest prince, 138 d.; in the stables of the other princes, and in the courier horse stables, 136 d.; in the country bred stables, 126 d.; in the other Síaspí stables, 106 d.; in the Bístaspí stables, 103 d.; and in the Dahaspí stables, 100 d. 12. The Jilaudár (vide A´ín 60) and the Paik (a runner). Their monthly pay varies from 1200 to 120 d., according to their speed and manner of service. Some of them will run from fifty to one hundred kroh (kos) p. day. 13. The Na'lband, or farrier. Some of them are Ahadís, some foot soldiers. They receive 160 d. 14. The Zíndár, or saddle holder, has the same rank and pay as the preceding. In the Kháçah stable of forty horses, one saddle is allowed for every two horses, in the following manner: for the first and twenty-first; for the second and twenty-second, and so on. If the first horse is sent out of the stable, the saddle remains at its place, and what was the second horse becomes first, and the second saddle falls to the third horse, and so on to the end. If a horse out of the middle leaves, its saddle is given to the preceding horse. 15. The A´bkash, or water-carrier. Three are allowed in the stables of forty; two in stables of thirty, and only one in other stables. The monthly pay is 100 d. 16. The Farrásh (who dusts the furniture). There is one in every kháçah stable. His pay is 130 d. 17. A Sipandsoz* is only allowed in the stables of forty horses; his pay is 100 d. 18. The Khákrúb, or sweeper. Sweepers are called in Hindustan Halálkhur;* His Majesty brought this name en vogue. In stables of forty, there are two; in those of thirty and twenty, one. Their monthly pay is 65 d.

During a march, if the dároghahs are in receipt of a fixed allowance for coolies, they entertain some people to lead the horses. In the stables of thirty horses, fifteen are allowed. And in the same proportion does the government appoint coolies, when a dároghah has not received the extra-allowance. Each cooly gets two dáms per diem.
