Answer:
* Kings shared their administrative power with samantas, Brahmans, traders, and associations of peasants.
* Peasants, cattle-keepers, artisans, and all those who produced something, had to pay taxes or rents, and traders had to pay revenue.
* Under the Chola dynasty, there were around 400 different types of taxes, from which vetti (forced labour), and kadamai (land revenue) were the most common.
* The reasons of collecting taxes were; to fulfil the finance of the king's establishments, to build temples and forts, and to fight wars.
* The high positions at kingdoms including the army, were appointed either by hereditary or through influential families.
