Consider the following:
(i) Ushas - Women God
(ii) Bali - Tax
(iii) Gramini - Chief of the army
(iv) Samiti - Was an assembly of people
Which one of the pair is incorrect?
(iii)
In Vedic polity, 'Gramini' referred to the head or chief of a village (Grama), responsible for local administration, not the chief of the army — that role was held by the 'Senani'. Hence, the pairing 'Gramini - Chief of the army' in (iii) is incorrect, while the other pairs, Ushas as a goddess, Bali as a tax/tribute, and Samiti as a popular assembly, are all correct.
