¹ Altindisches Leben, p. 166: "Fixed taxes the people didn't pay the king, they brought to him voluntary presents." Zimmer compares this with the old German conditions which are mentioned in Tacitus, Germania 15: "Mos est civitatibus ultro ac viritim conferre principibus vel armentorum vel frugum, quod pro honore acceptum etiam necessitatibus subvenit."
