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. Instead, these samantas became the face of the kingdom to common people. The king became dependent on these samantas for revenue and even soldiers. One example of a kingdom that lost its central authority due to samantas was Harshavardhana's kingdom.
