d) 3 1 2 5 4 6
Answer »Answer: (d)
The Kumaramatyas were the high officers and the personal staff of the emperor and were appointed by the king in the home provinces and possibly paid in cash. Recruitment was not confined to the upper varnas only and several offices came to be combined in the hands of the same person, and posts became hereditary.
A high ranking official heard for the first time in the Gupta records was the Sandhivigrahika (the foreign minister). The provinces or divisions called bhuktis were governed by Uparikas directly appointed by the kings. The province was often divided into districts known as Vishayas which were ruled by Kumaramatyas, Ayuktas or Vishayapatis.
His appointment was made by the provincial governors. Land revenue was the main source of the state’s income besides the fines. In Samudragupta’s time, we hear of an officer Gopasramin working as Akshapataladhikrita whose duty was to enter numerous matters in the accounts registers, recover royal dues, to check embezzlement and recover fines.
