Dákhilí troops.

A fixed number of these troops are handed over to the Mançabdárs; but they are paid by the State. His Majesty has ordered to designate these infantry soldiers in the descriptive rolls as nímah suwárán, or half troopers.

The fourth part of Dákhilí troops are matchlock-bearers; the others carry bows.

Carpenters, workers in iron, water-carriers, pioneers, belong to this class.

A non-commissioned officer of the matchlock-bearers receives 160 d., or 4 R.; common matchlock-bearers get 140 d. The Mírdahahs of the archers get from 120 to 180 d.; common archers from 100 to 120 d.

I could say much more on this subject, but I must content myself with having described the principal classes. I have also given some details in speaking of the several workshops and offices of the Household.
