v1.c28.52
The Mahomedan force consisted of forty-one thousand eight hundred horse, thirty-eight thousand foot, and about seventy pieces of cannon: these were choice troops, but the irregulars not mustered were very numerous, and probably amounted to as many more. The Mahrattas have been reckoned at fifty-five thousand horse and fifteen thousand foot, with two hundred pieces of cannon³ besides their Pindharees and followers, of whom there are supposed to have been upwards of two hundred thousand souls.¹
