Explanation

Under the Gupta land grant system, donees (recipients of land grants) had significant rights over the land and its produce but could not arbitrarily evict peasants who faithfully paid their taxes. The peasant's right to cultivation was protected as long as they fulfilled their tax obligations, providing stability to agrarian society.
