    Explanation:
    • Chola Inscriptions from Tamil Nadu refer to more than 400 terms for various kinds of taxes;
    • Vetti among them stood out as it was not a tax that was collected in kind, rather it was a tax appropriated in the form of forced labour.
    • Other kinds of taxes that were collected were Kadamai (Land Revenue), taxes on thatching the houses,, taxes on tapping toddy, etc.
