What were the new administrative arrangements during this period?
✓
Answer
The new administrative arrangements during this period were:
Some important administrative posts were made hereditary, e.g, the poet Harishena was a maha-danda-nayaka or the cheif juidicial; officer, like his father.
One person held many offices, e.g, besides being a maha-danda-nayaka , Harishena was kumar-amatya which means an important minister, and a sandhi-vigrahika meaning minister of ward and peace.
Important men probably had a say in local administration. These inculoed negar-shreshti or chief banker or merchant of the city, the sarthavah or leader of the merchant caravans, the prathama-kulika or the cheif carftman and the head of the Kayasthas or scribes.
