Dalavayi also spelled Dalwai, Dalavay was meaning title of Chief in Commander[1] or Commander in the military[2] in South Indian dynasty. In Kingdom of Mysore, Hyder Ali and his eldest son Tipu Sultan were appointed to this position.
The word Dalavayi is a Prakrit or vernacular form of the Sanskrit word Dalapati (which literally means:leader or chief of the team or wing).In western India,especially Maharashtra and Goa the descendants of Dalavayis still use the title Dalvi(Devanagari:दळवी),which is modern form of the Prakrit word Dalavayi.[3]
