The above statement is True.
The samantas were the military leaders in charge of the lesser principalities under the control of the central monarch. They used to declare independence anytime the ruler proved too weak to oversee the kingdom's affairs. The samantas' first function was to collect revenue and distribute it to the king. Apart from the well-organised army, the monarch was furnished with troops whenever he required them by the samantas. The samantas did not get a regular salary. They received land grants, and the income from these lands was collected.
