Explanation: The footmen (piyadgan) formed a numerous but miscellaneous body. Many of them consisted of matchlock-bearers (banduqchi) and received salaries ranging between three and seven rupees a month. This was the infantry proper. But the root-soldiers also included porters, servants, news-runners, swordsmen, wrestlers and slaves. The slaves, though not as numerous as during the Sultanate period, were clothed and fed by the emperor or by a prince.
