Five such units were placed under a \*Jumledar\*, and two or three \*jumlas\* formed a \*Hazari's\* division. When this cadre was introduced there were apparently only seven divisions of Mawle infantry and these were placed under the \*Sarnobat\* Yesaji Kank who held the chief command. The \*Sarnobat\* of infantry was inferior in rank and status to the \*Sarnobat\* of cavalry, for, while the letter was admitted to the \*Ashta Pradhan\* Council the former had no place in that body. For their civil assistants the \*Jumledar\* and the \*Hazari\* of the infantry had each a \*Sabnis\*, who kept the account and the muster roll. The \*Sabnis\* of the \*Jumledar\* drew a salary of 40 \*Hons\*,² while the officer of that name on the \*Hazari's\* staff was given 100 to 125 \*Hons\*. - [Previous: c5.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c5.35) - [Next: c5.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c5.37) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c5.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c5.36) · Pramāṇa
