ered to them,
according to their heathen manner, that they would account for
these taxes with him or the Governor of India for the time being;
and he ordered that two pacharins should be given to each one, for
it was an ancient custom in the land to give these to these Hindus.

'On the conclusion of this business, Affonso de Albuquerque gave
them permission to return to their houses and to commence the
collection of the taxes, according to the local registers of the
lands. And they desired him to appoint over them certain Tanadars,
who have the same office as our Almoxarifes [_Receivers of the
Customs_], to collect the revenue and to dispense justice amongst
them. In order to content them, Affonso de Albuquerque nominated
Braz Vieira over them as Tanadar of Cintacora, and Gaspar Chanoca
to act as his Secretary, and over all the other offices of Tanadar
he appointed for them as Tanadars a number of honourable men,
servants of the King, in whom he had complete confidence, to
execute justice among them. And he ordered Timoja to appoint to
each of these officers a Hindu clerk, in order to show them the
method to be {158} pursued in collecting the revenue; and to each
Tanadar he told off 200 peons of the country to accompany them and
carry out the instructions of their masters in the collection of
the revenue. And he sent Joao Alvares de Caminha, who was a very
honourable man and possessed great authority, in order to set those
things in action as they should be carried on; and to put them into
working order; and to repose in him a confidence with regard to
other greater matters; and to be his clerk Antonio Fragoso was
appointed; and a Hindu servant of Timoja to show him the
register-books of the lands, how they were held in separate
occupation, in order that there should be no dishonesty. And Joao
Alvares de Caminha managed everything in such a manner that
everybody was well pleased. The Hindus who had fled out of Goa
returned to their original dwelling-places in the land immediately
that they perceived that Affonso de Albuquerque had remitted to
them a moiety of the dues, which they had been accustomed to pay to
the Sabaio (Yusaf Adil Shah), and had appointed natives over them
to govern them.'[3]
