c22.s2.6

This tax, Prof. Pissurlencar informs me, is still paid in some villages of Portuguese India. But what is still more interesting is that Prof. Pissurlencar finds from some entries in the *Livros dos Reis Visinhos* that Gaon Khandi was exacted from some villages in the District of Daman by Moro Pingle, Shivaji's Peshwa, in the years 1676, 1677 and 1678.
