Amir Khusro (in 1311 A.D.) writes that, "Everyone, who has a brain capable of thinking, will realize that the status of the good administrator is higher than that of the conqueror...Precedence has been given in this book to administrative over military affairs.. The fortunate star of the mass of the people arose on the day when it was revealed to the heart of the Sultan that God had made him a ruler over them. The Sultan's fostering care for the sons of Adam is greater than that of the sun for the moon and the stars. ... From east to west and north to south, he has several times remitted the Khiraj of the raiyat."

"Next, in order to make cheap the livelihood of the mass of the people, he has lessened the taxburden of the artisans, who used to sell their commodities at a high price. He has appointed an honest rais (controller) over them, so that he may talk to the glib-tongued shopkeepers with the whip of justice and give the power of speech to those who had none."
