List I: (a) Amatya; (b) Mitra; (c) Durga; (d) Kosha.
List II: (i) Treasury; (ii) Minister; (iii) Fort; (iv) Ally.
Choose the correct answer.
(a) - (ii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (iii), (d) - (i)
Amatya means minister, Mitra means ally, Durga means fort, and Kosha means treasury. Thus the matching is (a)–(ii), (b)–(iv), (c)–(iii), (d)–(i). These are among Kautilya's seven elements of sovereignty.
