Which work is identified as a famous composition of the poet Bankidas, who was associated with Man Singh's court?

Explanation

Bankidas is placed in the patronage of Maharaja Man Singh, and Testbook says the khyat written by him is also known as Jodhpur Rajya Khyat. That matters because the option is not merely a generic title about Jodhpur state history; it is a recognised khyat text linked to Bankidas. Bankidas is also connected with two well-known writings, Manjasomandan and Jodhpur Rajya ki Khyat, while Jodhpur Rajya ki Khyat is treated as a source for Rathore traditions. So, among the courtly literary works listed, the one that fits Bankidas and Man Singh's court is Jodhpur Rajya ki Khyat.

Why the other options are wrong

• (B) Vijay-Vilas is linked to Vishwanath Singh in Vijay Singh's court, not to Bankidas in Man Singh's patronage.
• (C) Suraj Prakash is identified as a Dingal work of Karnidan during Abhay Singh's period, so it does not match Bankidas.
• (D) Abhayvilas is attributed to the Charan poet Prithviraj in Abhay Singh's time, not to Bankidas.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan literary history, especially khyat traditions and court poets. It recurs in RAS because such questions check whether candidates can match regional authors, patrons and texts without confusing similar courtly works.
