Accepted Answer

The empire was divided into provinces called Mandalams or Rajyas. Mandalams were sub-divided into Nadus (districts). Nadus were further divided into Sthalas or Kampanas (sub-districts). The lowest unit of administration was the Grama (village). Thus, the correct descending order is Mandalam -> Nadu -> Sthala -> Grama.
