The title Gramabhojaka was given to the village's largest landowner. The following are the functions of the gramabhojaka:
- He hired villagers and poor people to cultivate his land.
- He was given the responsibility of collecting taxes from the villagers for the king.
- He also served as a judge for the village when the need arrived. Sometimes, he also posed as the village policeman.
All these powers which were entrusted to him by the king were the reason he was considered so powerful.
