Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

This question assesses knowledge of classical Sanskrit literature and its authors. List-I features iconic works, while List-II provides their corresponding authors. To answer correctly, one must match each work with its author, considering their characteristic style and period: Vikramorvashiya is a Sanskrit play by Kalidasa, known for its poetic elegance and dramatization of mythological themes. Kavyalankara, by Bhamaha, is an early systematic treatise on Sanskrit poetics. Kiratarjuniya, an epic poem, was authored by Bharavi and is recognized for its complex style and profound philosophical depth. Kavyadarsha, another seminal poetics text, is attributed to Dandin, focusing on literary aesthetics and compositional rules. Recognizing these literary contributions enhances understanding of India’s rich cultural and intellectual history.
