RAS question

Padmanabh wrote which famous text?

Correct answer: (B) Kanhadde Prabandh.

Padmanabh wrote Kanhadde Prabandh, a text associated with the heroism of Kanhadde of Jalore against Alauddin Khilji.

  1. (A)

    Prithviraj Raso

  2. (B)

    Kanhadde Prabandh

  3. (C)

    Padmavat

  4. (D)

    Veer Satsai

Explanation

Padmanabh is linked with Kanhadde Prabandh, the work that describes the heroism of Kanhadde of Jalore against Alauddin Khilji. Open Library records the author-text link: its page metadata lists Kānhaḍade prabandha as a book by Padmanabha, and the edition data gives the title as Kānhaḍade prabandha with a by-statement naming Padmanābha. Open Library also classifies the work as a medieval epic poem in Old Western Rajasthani. Kanhadde Prabandh is not merely a similar-sounding Rajasthan text; it is the specific bibliographic pairing of Padmanabh with Kanhadde Prabandh.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Prithviraj Raso is wrong here because Open Library identifies Padmanabh with Kanhadde Prabandh, not Prithviraj Raso.
  • (C) Padmavat is wrong because Open Library records the relevant author-text pairing as Padmanabh with Kanhadde Prabandh.
  • (D) Veer Satsai is wrong because Kanhadde Prabandh is the text tied to Kanhadde of Jalore against Alauddin Khilji.

Concept

RAS Rajasthan History, Art and Culture requires matching major literary texts with their authors and historical themes. Such texts anchor regional literary tradition and remembered political conflict.
