People in forested regions provided the Mauryan officials with elephants, timber honey and wax. The Mauryan empire was so vast that different regions were governed in different ways.

This meant that officials were chosen to collect taxes from local farmers, herders, artisans, and dealers who resided in the villages and cities.

Although residents of these regions were generally independent, they might have been required to give Mauryan officials elephants, timber, honey, and wax.
