The Shiledars obtained an advance called *Nalbandi* for preliminary expenses and we learn from a document of Balaji Baji Rao's time that horses were divided into three classes according to their price. "A horse worth Rs. 400 should be classed as superior, that worth Rs. 200 as middling and that worth Rs. 100 as inferior. Any horse worth less than Rs. 100 should not be counted in the muster. A horse classed as superior but having a bad rider should not be counted in the muster."²⁵
