History of the Khaljis, A.D. 1290–1320 c16.21

c16.21

Dr. Qureshi thinks that the three grades of cavalrymen were *murattab*, *savār* and *do aspah* and got 234, 156 and 78 *tankahs* respectively. He quotes a passage from Barani⁷ to show that *savār* was superior to *do aspah*, since while the former drove away a hundred Mughals before him the latter imprisoned only ten.
