Question:

Which of the following offices was NOT held by the Harishena ?

Options:

Sandhi-vigrahika

Maha-danda-nayaka

Nagara-shreshthi

Kumar-amatya

Correct Answer:

Nagara-shreshthi

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Nagara-shreshthi

The office that was NOT held by Harishena is Nagara-shreshthi.

Harishena's Offices: Harishena held the positions of Sandhi-vigrahika (Minister of War and Peace), Maha-danda-nayaka (Chief Judicial Officer), and Kumar-amatya (Important Minister).

Nagara-shreshthi: This title refers to the chief banker or merchant of a city, not a government position.

Historical Evidence: Inscriptions and historical records indicate that Harishena held the aforementioned government offices but not the title of Nagara-shreshthi.

Therefore, Harishena did not hold the office of Nagara-shreshthi.
