Administrative System of the Marathas c11.s2.2

c11.s2.2

¹⁹ This statement is based on Sabhasad Bakhar and Major Jervis's Konkan, but as I have already pointed out in a previous note, some of these dues continued to be levied till Shivaji's death and a few certainly survived him; but, as we do not know for certain whether they were state dues or perquisites of village officers or cesses levied by village communities, we cannot challenge the accuracy of this assertion without further investigation.
