Which of the following texts throws light on the history of Paramaras ?

  • A.Mudrarakshasa
  • B.Navasahasankacharita
  • C.Harshacharita
  • D.Gaudavaho

Answer: B

The text is the Navasahasankacharita.

Written by Padmagupta (Parimala) at the court of the Paramara king Sindhuraja of Malwa, around 1000 CE, it is a poetic account of that king, whose title was Navasahasanka, and it gives the legendary origin of the Paramara line.

The other texts concern other dynasties. Mudrarakshasa is about Chandragupta Maurya, the Harshacharita is Bana's life of Harsha, and the Gaudavaho is Vakpati's Prakrit poem on Yashovarman of Kannauj.
