Explanation:
Overall, the administration of the Guptas was more liberal than that of the Mauryans. Punishments were not severe and imposition of fines was common. Also the king maintained a close contact with the provincial administration, through a class of officials called Kumaramatyas and Ayuktas. A high official, called Sandivigraha was mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions, most probably the minister for foreign affairs. Provinces in the Gupta Empire were known as Bhuktis and provincial governors as the Uparikas. The Bhuktis were sub-divided into Vishyas or districts. They were governed by the Vishyapatis.
