Explanation:

This was the so called Dahsala system or Zabti System, that was implemented by Raja Todarmal. This remained a standard system of revenue assessment during the greater part of the Mughal empire. The best lands viz. Polaj and Parauti were subdivided into three categories viz. good, middle and bad. Average produce of these three categories, called Mahsul was taken as a normal produce per Bigha. One third of this Mahsul (average produce) was fixed as state’s share. The Parauti land also was liable to pay the Polaj rate (one third of Mahsul) when cultivated.
