Speaker A
Question number two: The text Gatha Saptasati, a collection of poems, is mainly related to the theme of love. Gatha Saptasati was written by Hala. Hala's title is Kavivatsala. Hala's title is Kavivatsala. This is related to love, so it is correct. Next, Gunadhya wrote the Brihatkatha in Sanskrit. Look, the Brihatkatha was written by Gunadhya, but it was written in Paishachi Prakrit, not Sanskrit. Gunadhya was the court poet of Kuntala Satakarni. Instead of Prakrit, Satakarni introduced Sanskrit as the royal language. Gunadhya and Sarvavarman, all these matters will come in the Satavahana period. The point here is that Gunadhya did not write the Brihatkatha in Sanskrit. It was written in Paishachi Prakrit, whereas Gatha Saptasati is in Maharashtri Prakrit. Note the language, the author, the content of the text, and to whom the text was dedicated, if at all, and its special features. These are compulsory questions in the exam. Gunadhya did not write the Brihatkatha in Sanskrit; he wrote it in Paishachi Prakrit. The Brihatkatha written by Gunadhya was translated into Sanskrit by Kshemendra, the Kashmiri poet, not Gangavamsi. Okay, the events between Sarvavarman, Kuntala Satakarni, and Gunadhya are fully covered in the Satavahana period, and the Brihatkatha is very important. So here, A is correct and B is incorrect, and the option is three.
