Answer

Shivaji was a brave and a bold general.
His kingdom was divided into two parts: Swarajya and Mughlai. Swarajya means homeland, which was under direct Maratha control.
‘Mughlai’ were the territories adjacent to Mughal territories.
They contributed revenue to the Marathas.
Marathas conducted raids on the Mughlai territories and the inhabitants were forced to pay tax known as chauth equal to one-fourth of land revenue.
The remaining of his empire was divided into prants or provinces.
Each prant was divided into several parganas.
Each pargana consisted of several villages.
The headman of the village was known as patel.
