The ‘Saptanga Theory of State’ (Theory of Seven Limbs of the State) was put forward by :

  • A.Kautilya in Arthashastra
  • B.Manu in Manusmriti
  • C.Kalhana in Rajatarangini
  • D.Banabhatta in Harshacharita

Answer: A

It was Kautilya, in the Arthashastra.

The saptanga names seven limbs of the state - swami the ruler, amatya the ministers, janapada the territory and people, durga the fort, kosha the treasury, danda the army and mitra the ally - each dependent on the rest, so that weakness in one weakens the whole.
