The \*Jumledar\* of the cavalry had 500 \*Hons\* a year besides the proud privilege of riding in a palanquin. The \*Hazari\*, his official superior, drew a salary of 1,000 \*Hons\* while the \*Panchhazari\* received double that amount. Krishnaji Anant Sabhasad, to whom we are indebted for these figures, does not tell us the precise salary of the \*Sarnobat\* or the commander-in-chief; but from a memorandum drawn in the first year of the coronation era¹ it appears that the clothes of honour awarded to the \*Senapati\* were in every respect similar to those of the crown prince and the Peshwa or prime minister. The document throws no light on the emoluments of the office. - [Previous: c5.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c5.37) - [Next: c5.39](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c5.39) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c5.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c5.38) · Pramāṇa
