Answer:
3.Kings in early states were not invariably Kshatriyas. Several important ruling lineages had different origins. For example, according to later Buddhist texts, social background of the Mauryas was Kshatriya, but Brahmanical texts described them as being of "low" origin.
4.The Manusmriti laid down what it described as the duties of the chandalas. They were expected to live outside the village; use discarded bowls, with dogs and donkeys as their wealth. They were to wear the clothes of the dead, and eat out of broken dishes; wear ornaments of black iron, and wander constantly.
