The Army of the Indian Moghuls: Its Organization and Administration c22.15

c22.15

*Rear guard.* The name of this was *chandāwul* (P. de C. 288) literally, water-carriers, people belonging to the rear guard (Steingass, 400). In its charge was the baggage of the army (*bahīr-o-bangāh*). Horn, 61, says the correct form is *chaghdaul*, referring to Babar 131, line 1, and 184, line 10. This form is not used by Indian writers of later date, nor is it in P. de Courteille, “Dictionnaire”. It is found on p. 395 of Steingass.
