Question

Which one of the following is not correctly matched?

• A. Kalidasa : Kumarasambhava
• B. Shudraka : Mrichchhakatika
• C. Varahamihira : Brihat-samhita
• D. Vishakhadatta : Kaumudi-mahotsava

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Vishakhadatta : Kaumudi-mahotsava

Kaumudi-Mahotsava ("Festival of Moonlight") is a Sanskrit play of uncertain date. It is known from a single manuscript discovered in the present-day Kerala state of India. Its style and language suggest that it was composed around the 3rd century. The portion supposedly containing the name of the playwright is damaged, but the name appears to be a feminine one (read by some scholars as "Vijjakaya"), although this cannot be said with certainty.
