Answer & ExplanationAnswer: [C]
The term brahmadeya occurs for the first time in pre-Gupta inscriptions. The term "brahmadeya" refers to a land grant or endowment given to Brahmins or Brahminical institutions. It is a form of donation or gift of land for the support of religious and educational activities associated with Brahmin priests and scholars. The concept of brahmadeya became prominent during the period of pre-Gupta inscriptions, which refers to the time before the Gupta Empire (4th-6th century CE). Inscriptions from this period, particularly those of the Satavahanas, the Kushanas, and other regional dynasties, provide evidence of the practice of granting brahmadeya lands. These inscriptions contain references to the granting of lands to Brahmins or Brahminical institutions, establishing their ownership and the associated responsibilities.
