Solution

Sabha was the assembly of the elders, as compared to the Samiti or the general body meeting. Sabha was made more exclusive because it deliberated on the issues and problems of the community and took decisions. Thus, it consisted only of the elderly, who were considered to be wise and capable of taking such decisions.
