In the State cavalry (*paga*), the unit was formed by 25 troopers (*bargirs*); over 25 men was placed one havladar, over 5 havladars one jumladar,* and over 10 jumlas or 1,250 men one hazari. Still higher ranks were the 5-hazaris and the supreme commander or sar-i-naubat of cavalry. For every twenty-five troopers there were a water-carrier and a farrier.
