To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Another wise step was the reclaiming of waste lands by the government, the proceeds of which were de- voted to the support of religion and learning. Firoz annually allowed more than a third of a million pounds (36 lacs) to learned men and pious endow- ments, and a million (100 lacs) was distributed every year in pensions and relief to the poor. The sultan was not only a great builder but a large gardener.
He planted twelve hundred gardens near Delhi and many elsewhere, and the produce, among wh...ich white and black grapes of seven varieties are men- tioned, brought in ;£'8ooo net profit to the treasury.
The three sources of water-dues, reclaimed lands, and market gardens added nearly thirty thousand pounds to the annual revenue, which Afif reckoned at six crors and eighty-five lacs of tankas (^^6,850- 000) throughout the reign — about a third of the revenues of Akbar two centuries later. Of this the fertile Doab alone contributed ^^"800,000.
It is not clear whether this revenue includes the rents of the villages and lands which were assigned to public ofificials as salary, but it probably does not.
