Question

In what ways do you think that the life of a raja was different from that of a dasa or dasi?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A raja was an independent person while a slave was not. A raja commanded respect because of his powerful position. But a slave must have been the subject of ridicule and pity; in most of the cases.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rajas' were the kings of the community, whereas the 'dasas' / 'dasis' were at the lowest position in society. The 'dasas' / 'dasis' were slaves who used for work. They were treated as the property of their owners. They were captured in war by the kings and wealthy people.
