Shivaji and His Times c17.s2.1

c17.s2.1

His revenue is put by his courtier Sabhasad (p. 102) at the round figure of one *krore* of *hun*, while the *chauth* when collected in full brought in another 80 *lakhs*. (*T. S.* 35*a*.) If these statements are correct, Shivaji's theoretical income at its highest was seven *krores* of Rupees. The sum actually realized was considerably less than this paper-estimate,—probably sometimes falling as low as one-tenth of it.
