Which one of the following is not prakriti (or vital organ) of the state according to Kautilya ?
Answer: C
The one that is not a prakriti is Senapati.
Kautilya's Arthashastra lists seven prakritis, the constituent elements of the state (saptanga theory): svamin (the king), amatya (ministers), janapada (territory and people), durga (fort), kosha (treasury), danda (army or force) and mitra (ally).
Svamin, kosh and amatya are all among the seven. The army appears as danda, but the commander-in-chief (senapati) is an official, not one of the seven elements of the state.
