Nagara-shreshthi |
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. |
