write a note on the administration of brahmdeya
Answers
An assembly or sabha of popular Brahamana landowners looked after the affairs of the brahmadeya. These worked very efficiently and their decisions were recorded in detail in inscriptions often on stone walls of temples. Occasionally, the administrative functions in towns were performed by associations of traders known as nagarams.
According to the Uttaramerur inscription, all those who wish to become members of the sabha should
Be owners of land from which revenue is collected.
Have their own homes.
Be between 35 to 70 years of age.
Have knowledge of the Vedas.
Be well-versed in administrative matters and honest.
Have submitted their accounts and those of their relatives.
Not have been members of any committee in the last three years, for becoming a member of another committee.
