In a description of this pargana, the Murkos from their number and prosperity claim special notice. Like almost all of the agricultural and artizan castes, the Muráos claim to have seven subdivisions, and these subdivisions are bound down by very strict rules regulating what they may and what they may not cultivate. The name of the subdivision that ranks first is, as in the case of many other castes, Knaujia. The other six tribes are Thakúria, Kachhwáha, Haridwára, Mánwa, Jaiswár, and Kori,
