    What was the main function of the raja in the Early Vedic Age?

    Answer:

    The raja ruled over the people (jana) and not over any specific area of land. His main function was to protect the people and lead the army to victory in battle. Battles were fought for land which was essential for agriculture and for pastures for the cattle. He received a large part of the booty collected in battle. He was also called gopati (Lord of Cattle) indicating that protecting and increasing the cattle was his other major role.
