Question

Consider the following statement of Manu: ‘The acceptance of an untilled field by a Brahmin is less blameable than that of a tilled one.’ It points to the fact that:

A Brahmins should not accept either tilled or untilled land
B land grants to the Brahmins were disapproved by the law-makers
C land grants to the Brahmins comprised only untilled lands
D land grants to the Brahmins were also serving the purpose of extension of cultivation

Answer & Explanation

Answer: [D]

The statement of Manu suggests that land grants to Brahmins were also serving the purpose of the extension of cultivation. The acceptance of an untilled field by a Brahmin is considered less blameworthy than that of a tilled one because the Brahmin would be involved in the cultivation process and contribute to the development of the land. Therefore, option D is the correct interpretation.
