Detailed explanation-3: -During the age of the mahajanapadas, tax on crops was the most important and it was fixed at 1/6th of what was produced. This was known as bhaga or share.
Detailed explanation-4: -As the rulers of the mahajanapadas were (a) building huge forts (b) maintaining big armies, they needed more resources. And they needed officials to collect these.
