I believe this is the historical title of a tax assessor and collector under the Mauryan empire.

यह शब्द "समाहर्ता" मौर्य वंश की उन्नत शासन प्रणाली का द्योतक है। जहाँ एक ओर केंद्रीय स्तर पर एक मुख्य समाहर्ता होता था वहीं ग्रामों में भी समाहर्ता होते थे। प्रत्येक ग्राम में एक लेखपाल और एक कर-समाहर्ता होता था। कर-समाहर्ता राजस्व की उगाही करता था।
मुख्य समाहर्ता की ज़िम्मेदारियों को देखते हुए उसे Collector General कहा जा सकता है।
