Explanation:

Ayagar System:
It was a Socio-economic system which originated first in the Karnataka region in ancient period and then spread to Tamil and Andhra regions in the medieval period.
It meant that the requirements of the rural population in certain goods and social services were met by a staff of professionals, who were remunerated not with the payment for work done, but summarily with a fraction of gross agricultural produce, called Ayam.
All village artisans and menials together with the community administrative staff were therefore known by the common name of ayagars (receivers of the ayam).
