Answer:

The Samanta vassal provided military support to the Monarch and governed over a portion of a territory. The term 'Samanta' originally meant a 'neighbour' and in the Mauryan period, the term referred to the independent ruler of an adjoining territory as is evident from its use in the Arthashastra and Ashokan edicts.
