Ranks

Padatik- Infantrymen.

Ashvarohi – Horseman. One Ashvarohi = 12 Infantrymen.

Gaja – Soldier on an Elephant. One Gaja = 12 Ashvarohi.

ArdhaRathi – A soldier on a chariot who is considered equal to one Gaja.

Rathi- A warrior who is considered equal to 12 Ardharathis

AtiRathi – A warrior who is considered equal to 12 Rathis

Maharathi – A warrior who is considered equal to 12 Atirathis

Ati-Maharathi – A warrior who is considered equal to 12 Maharathis.

Mahamaharathis – A warrior who is considered equal to 24 Ati-Maharathis.

The above ranks are not just a reflection of skill or mastery of a weapon. It also includes knowledge of battle formations, strategic skill set, tactical knowledge, past experience, ability to crack"battle traps" and so on. Simply because an archer rode a chariot did not make him a Rathi – the warrior needed to have some fearsome reputation and class battle experience too.
