Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Samantas were expected to bring gifts to their kings. There were powerful landlords or war leaders in several parts of the Indian subcontinent by the seventh century. They were frequently referred to as the samantas, or subordinates, of the existing rulers. They were supposed to support the kings militarily, attend their courts, and send gifts to their kings. Samantas proclaimed themselves to be maha-samanta, maha-mandaleshvara (the great lord of a "circle" or territory), and so on as they grew in strength and wealth. They occasionally proclaimed their independence from their overlords.
