¹ Sometimes we have reference to ardha-namasya-vṛtti which refers to gift land taxed at half the usual rate. In some epigraphs of the Kannaḍa area, a person is mentioned as governing or managing an agrahāra according to the tribhāg-ābhyantara-siddhi which means that he took one-third of the revenues, the other two-thirds going in equal shares to the gods and Brāhmaṇas (Bomb. Gaz., Vol. I, Part II, p. 440). Likewise we have reference to pannasa in Kannaḍa records (Ep. Ind., Vol. XV, p. 336, note 3), which may be a corruption of Sanskrit pañcāśat and indicate a tenure in which the donee enjoyed fifty per cent of the revenue.
