 The revenue consisted, as before, of a share of the crops received in kind, supplemented by the levy of special cesses, trade, and transit dues.The chief's share of the crops differed according to the locality; it rarely exceeded one-third of the produce, it rarely fell short of one-sixth.From some parts the chief's share was realised directly from the cultivator by agents called "mantri"s; from other parts the collection was through superior landowners.
