416 In the infantry, whether fort-garrisons or Mavle militiamen, there was one corporal (nayahj to every nine privates (paiks); over 5 nayaks one havladar, over two (or three) havladars one jumladar, and over 10 jumladars one hazari* There seems to have been no 5 -hazari among the infantry, but only 7-hazaris, over whom was the sar-i-naubat of infantry. ShivajVs Guard brigade of 2,000 select Mavle infantry was splendidly equipped dressed and armed at great expense to the State. (Sabh. 58.)

The paga jumladar had a salary of 500 hun a year and the right to use a palkj. Attached to him was a majmuadar on 100 to 125 hun. A hazari drew 1,000 hun a year; under him were a majmuadar, a Maratha arbhari (manager or steward), and a revenue- writer (jama-navis) of the Kayastha caste, for whom 500 hun was assigned. The accounts of military income and disbursement had to be made up with the signature of all the four. A commander of 5,000 drew 2,000 hun and had the same three civil officers attached to his office. Karkuns (collectors), reporters, couriers and spies were posted to every higher command down to a hazari, under order of the sar-i-naubat. An infantry jumladar drew 100 hun a year, and had a sabnis (muster- writer) on 40 hun. A hazari drew 500 hun and his sabnis 100 to 125 hun.
