'Periyapuranam', a Tamil work informs us about whom ?

  • A.Kings and queens
  • B.Scholars and poets
  • C.Ordinary men and women
  • D.Soldiers and military generals

Answer: C

The Periyapuranam tells us about ordinary men and women.

This twelfth-century Tamil work by Sekkizhar narrates the lives of the 63 Nayanar saints, devotees of Shiva, who came from many walks of life: potters, hunters, farmers, washermen and others, besides a few kings and Brahmins. The NCERT text uses it as an example of a source that tells us about the lives of ordinary people.

The other options name groups usually described by court chronicles and inscriptions; the point of this source is that it brings ordinary people into view.
