Answer:
Forced labor.
Explanation:
In the Gupta Age, the term Vishti referred to Forced labor. While the Kshatriyas obtained their percentage of the material surplus through the power of arms in the kind of taxes (Shulka, Bali and Kar etc.), forced labor (Balutam and Vishti), tithes and other perquisites. The Brahmin ministry strengthened its right to the social surplus by the moralistic impediment which was based on the intensity of the tribal righteousness of sharing.
