Whenever His Majesty mounts a horse belonging to one of the six kháçah stables, he gives something, according to a fixed rule, with the view of increasing the zeal and desire for improvement among the servants. For some time it was a rule that, whenever he rode out on a kháçah horse, a rupee should be given, viz., one dám to the A´tbegí, two to the Jilaudár; eighteen and one-half to the grooms, the rest being shared by the Mushrif, the Naqíb, the Akhtachí, and the Zíndár. In the case of horses belonging to the stables of the eldest prince, thirty dáms were given, each of the former recipients getting a quarter of a dam less. For horses belonging to stables of the second prince, twenty dáms were given, the donations decreas­ing by the same fraction; and for horses belonging to the stables of the youngest prince, as also for courier horses, and stud-breds, ten dáms, according to the same manner of distribution.

Now, the following donations are given:—For a horse of a stable of forty, one rupee as before; for a horse belonging to a stable of the eldest prince, twenty dáms; for a horse belonging to the youngest prince, ten dáms; for courier horses, five; for stud breds, four; for horses of the other stables, two.
