Explanation: There were sixty-six grades or mansabs from ten to ten thousand. But ranks above five thousand were reserved for princes. Persons holding ranks below 500 zat were called mansabdars, those from 500 and below 2500 amirs, and those holding ranks of 2500 and above were called amir-i-umda or amir-i-azam. However, the word mansabdar is sometimes used for all the three categories.
