ON HORSES KEPT IN READINESS.

There are always kept in readiness two kháçah horses; but of courier-horses, three, and one of each stable from the seventy muhurs down to the ten muhur stables and the Gúṭs. They are formed into four divisions, and each division is called a misl.

First misl, one from the chihilaspí stables; one from the stable of the eldest prince; one from those of the second prince; one from the stable of kháçah courier horses. Second misl, one from the stable of the youngest prince; one from the studbred; one from the chihilaspí stables; one courier horse. Third misl, one horse from the stables of the three princes; one stud bred. Fourth misl, one horse from each of the stables of horses of forty, thirty, twenty, and ten muhurs.

His Majesty rides very rarely on horses of the fourth misl. But when prince Sháh Murád joined his appointment,* His Majesty also rode the best horses of the stables of forty muhurs. The arrangement was then as follows. First misl, one horse from the stables of forty; one horse from the stables of the eldest and the youngest prince, and a courier horse. Second misl, stud bred horses from the stables of horses above seventy muhurs; kháçah horses of forty muhurs, and courier horses. Third misl, one horse from the stables of each of the two princes, the stud bred, and the seventy muhur horses. Fourth misl, horses from the stables of sixty, forty, and thirty muhurs.

Horses are also kept in readiness from the stables of twenty and ten muhurs and the Gúṭs.
