A Kadambâ Inscription at Siddâpur near Dhârwâḍ, of the 12th century, throws some light on fiscal arrangements. Various dues were to be collected from various persons for worship and repair of temples. From a body of 60 tenants was to be collected a set of earthern pots for oil; from the gardening tenants, one pâga for caitra and one pâga for pavitra; from another body of 504 tenants, one pâga for caitra and one pâga for pavitra, and one pâga for gâtra; from another body of 300 tenants, one pâga for caitra and one pâga for pavitra.³
