The army was divided into many units. According to the Rāmarājīyamu, when Bukka Rāju Rāma Rāju marched against the fort of Kandanavōlu (Kurnul) which was then in the occupation of Savāi (the Aḍil KHān) and laid siege to it, each unit of his army is said to have consisted of one elephant, twenty horses, sixty archers, sixty swordsmen and sixty spearmen. There were 3,500 such units. But we do not know whether the numbers are accurate.¹⁰³
