Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The initial Sutra of Badarayana's Brahmasutra, "Athato Brahmajijnasa," translates to "Now, therefore, the inquiry into Brahman." This signifies the commencement of a philosophical endeavor to understand Brahman, the ultimate reality, after one has achieved necessary qualifications like ethical discipline and spiritual maturity.
