The fifth caste was the Military Caste¹, the Kshattriyas of the Hindu codes. The immense standing army of Chandragupta gave special prominence to members of this caste, who were liberally treated in the matter of pay and allowances. Accoutrements were found by the War Office, which had a special contract with the armourers' guild. Weapons were kept in the arsenals, under the supervision of the Ordnance Department.
