What was the tax which the kings used to collect from the people in the vedic period called?
In the Vedic period (2000 to 1500 BC), initially the king's power was not well established and taxation seems to have been occasional and voluntary. The term bali, originally used to devote voluntary offerings made to gods for securing their favour, came to be applied later to the presents and taxes offered to the king, more or less voluntarily. In the later Vedic period, the nature of taxation changed and the king was described as the 'eater of his subjects', and this phrase might have had its origin in a custom by which the king and his retinue were fed by the people's contributions.
