His Majesty in his wisdom thus regulated the revenues in the above-mentioned favourable manner. He reduced the duty on manufactures from ten to five per cent. and two per cent. was divided between the patwari and the ḳánungo. The former is a writer employed on the part of the cultivator. He keeps an account of receipts and disbursements, and no village is without one. The latter is the refuge of the husbandman. There is one in every district. At the present time the share of the ḳánungo (one per cent.) is remitted and the three classes of them are paid by the State accordding to their rank. The salary of the first is fifty rupees: of the second, thirty; of the third, twenty; and they have an assignment for personal support equivalent thereto. It was the rule that the commissaries of the shiḳḳdar, karkun,* and Amin should receive daily 58 dáms as a perquisite, provided that in spring they did not measure less than 200, nor in autumn less than 250 bíghas. His Majesty whose heart is capacious as the ocean, abolished this custom and allowed only one dám for each bígha.

The capitation tax.
The port duties.
Tax* per head on gathering at places of worship.
A tax on each head of oxen.
