The Army of the Indian Moghuls: Its Organization and Administration c12.s1.39

c12.s1.39

*Bādalījah*. Steingass, 140, defines it as a sort of cannon. Mḥd Kāẓim uses the form *Bādalīj* (*ʿĀlamgīr nāmah* 98, line 3, *ba zarb-i-bādalīj az pāe dar āmad*). Once Ghulām ‘Alī Khān, *Muqaddamah-i-Shāh ‘Alam-nāmah*, fol. 79b) uses this word *bādali* when speaking of the war *matériel* to be found in Lāhor fort in 1165 H. (1752). I have not seen the word elsewhere, nor can I tell what kind of thing it was.
