Answer: (B)
Explanation: The Kartikeyapura state had a well-organized border security system with clearly defined roles:

  • Prantapala was responsible for guarding the borders of the kingdom
  • Ghattapala protected the Giridwaras (mountain passes and entry points in hilly regions)
  • Varmapala monitored the movement of people along border routes

Option A shows incorrect matching, option C reverses the roles, and option D is also incorrect. In mountainous regions, protecting mountain passes was strategically the most important task.

(A) Narapati only helped people cross rivers
(B) Narapati was responsible for facilitating river crossings and collecting taxes

Answer: (B)
Explanation: Narapati performed a dual role in Kartikeyapura administration:

  • He ensured smooth movement at river crossings, which was vital for trade and travel
  • He collected revenue from travelers and merchants crossing rivers

This made river crossings an important source of state revenue, especially on trade routes. Option A is incomplete, option C is partially correct, and option D is incorrect because guarding mountain passes was the duty of Ghattapala.


Q3. What were the roles of Doshaparadhika and Duhsadhya-Sadhnika in the Kartikeyapura administration concerning crime control and intelligence?

(C) Doshaparadhika headed intelligence, and Duhsadhya-Sadhnika arrested criminals
(D) Both worked only in the military department

Answer: (B)
Explanation: In the internal security system of Kartikeyapura:

  • Doshaparadhika was the highest official responsible for capturing criminals and maintaining law and order
  • Duhsadhya-Sadhnika was the head of the intelligence department, collecting secret information and reporting directly to the king

These two officers worked in separate departments but together ensured internal stability. Options A, C, and D are incorrect.


Q4. What was the hierarchical structure of the police department in Kartikeyapura administration?
(A) Dandanayaka > Dandapashika > Mahadandanayaka
(B) Dandapashika < Dandanayaka < Mahadandanayaka
(C) Mahadandanayaka < Dandanayaka < Dandapashika
(D) All three were at the same level

Answer: (B)
Explanation: The Kartikeyapura police system had a clear hierarchy:

  • Dandapashika – lowest-level officers performing field duties
  • Dandanayaka – middle-level officers supervising units
  • Mahadandanayaka – highest officer controlling the entire police force

This structure closely resembles a modern police organization. Options A, C, and D present incorrect hierarchies.


Q5. What was the name of the tehsil-level administrative unit in Kartikeyapura administration?
(A) Vishaya
(B) Karmanta
(C) Karika
(D) Mandala

Click To Show Answer/Hide

Answer: (B)
Explanation: In Kartikeyapura administration, the tehsil-level unit was called Karmanta. The term comes from Sanskrit, where karma means work and anta means division or section. Karmanta was responsible for revenue collection, judicial functions, and public works at the local level.

  • Karika referred to a royal mason or supervisor of construction works
  • Vishaya and Mandala were higher-level administrative divisions

Therefore, option B is correct.
