This corresponds to the \*iraiyili\* class of land mentioned in the Coḷa inscriptions. Often this is associated with \*aṣṭa-bhoga\*, i.e. the eight forms of enjoying the land. For a discussion of this form of land tenure, see \*JAHRS\*, Vol. X, pp. 123-32. It is noteworthy that even the so-called tax-free (\*iraiyili\*) lands paid to the king certain dues of the nature of taxes. See K.A. Nilakanta Sastri, \*The Coḷas\*, 2nd ed., pp. 534-35. See \*sarva-namasya\*, etc. - [Previous: c6.5511](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.5511) - [Next: c6.5513](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.5513) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.5512](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.5512) · Pramāṇa
