Answers
Answer:
Samantas were feudal lords who had authority over some portion of a kingdom. The king would transfer the authority to collect revenue and maintain law and order in a particular area of his kingdom to a samanta. Samantas weakened the authority of a king because the king lost central control over his kingdom.

Answer:
Kings often acknowledged big landlords or warrior chiefs, in different regions of the subcontinent, as their subordinates or samantas. They provided military support to the king. The king became increasingly dependent on these chiefs. Some of these warrior chiefs grew ambitious and some of them became independent when the kings power declined. For example, Rashtrakutas were subordinate to the Chalukyas of Karnataka who rose to power by overthrowing their overlords.
