(b) Dasa Saramakaras are the people who had no land of their own land worked for others.

Origin:

• The word Dasa is a Sanskrit word with its roots in Vedic literature like Rigveda  or Arthashastra.
• Its meaning depends on the context in which the word Dasa is used in.
• But in most of the cases, the meaning of  Sanskrit word Dasa has been identified as 'Servant'.

Thus Dasa Saramakaras refers to the people who had no land of their own.

In other words, Dasa Saramakaras describe people who didn't posses any property of their own but worked on others to earn a living for themselves.
