The Army of the Indian Moghuls: Its Organization and Administration c9.23

c9.23

Other items of body armour (Dastūr-ul-Inshā, 228) were the joshan, the jihlam, the angarkhah, the daghlah. In other authorities we also meet with the *jāmah-i-fatāḥī*, the *chihilqad*, *ṣādiqī*, the *koṭhī*, the *bhanjū*, and the *salhqaba*. Of the last, the *salhqaba*, *Āīn*, N°. 66, we have no figure, and I am unable to identify it, as I have never seen the word elsewhere. Other words which have defied identification are *harhai*, as I read it (B.M. 6599, fol. 162*a*; B.M. 1641, fol. 37*a*), and three articles in the *Dastūr-ul-Inshā*, p. 228, which I read *sūbī*, *malk*, and *masarī*. We have also the *kamal*, the *ghughwah*, the *kanthā-sobhā*. Finally, there were the *dast-wānah* or arm-pieces, the *rānak* or greaves, and the *mozah-i-āhanī*, a smaller pattern of leg-piece.
