Detailed Solution

The rulers of mahajanapadas needed tax to maintain the territory. This needed resources and money to maintain. So the raja of a territory imposed a tax on farmers, craftspeople, herders, traders, hunters and gathers. These taxes were not necessary to pay in the form of money. Taxes were fixed on the parameter of work. People like farmers have to pay 1/6 the part of the crops produced. The rest of them can share their products or work a day in a month for raja.
