QUESTION STATEMENT:द्विभाषी / Bilingual
निम्नलिखित जोड़ों में कौन जोड़ा सुमेलित नहीं है? (कवि/विद्वान – आश्रयदाता राजा)
Which of the following pairs is not correctly matched? (Court Poet/Scholar – Patron King)
SELECT CORRECT OPTION:
A
रविकीर्ति – पुलकेशिन II
Ravikirti – Pulakeshin II
B
भवभूति – कन्नौज के यशोवर्मन
Bhavabhuti – Yashovarman of Kannauj
C
हरिषेण – हर्ष
Harishena – Harsha
Correct
D
दंडी – नरसिंह वर्मन
Dandi – Narasimhavarman
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C(हरिषेण – हर्ष)
हरिषेण गुप्त सम्राट समुद्रगुप्त के दरबारी कवि तथा संधिविग्रहिक सचिव थे (जिन्होंने प्रयाग प्रशस्ति लिखी), हर्षवर्धन के नहीं। हर्षवर्धन के दरबारी कवि बाणभट्ट, मयूर तथा मातंग दिवाकर थे। रविकीर्ति पुलकेशिन द्वितीय के, भवभूति यशोवर्मन के, तथा दंडी पल्लव शासक नरसिंहवर्मन द्वितीय के समकालीन थे। अतः विकल्प (c) असुमेलित है।
Harishena was the Sandhivigrahika minister and court panegyrist of the Gupta emperor Samudragupta, not Harsha (whose court poet was Banabhatta). Ravikirti served Pulakeshin II, Bhavabhuti was patronized by Yashovarman of Kannauj, and Dandin was associated with Pallava king Narasimhavarman. Hence, (c) is mismatched.
