Discussion
Choose the right matches among the following :
(1) Vedanta - Fountain Head of Indian philosophy
(2) Brahmanas - Musical Hymns
(3) Rigveda - Gayatri mantra
(4) Puranas - Upanishad
Answer: D
Pairs (1) and (3) are correct: Vedanta is the fountain head of Indian philosophy and the Rigveda contains the Gayatri mantra.
The Brahmanas are ritual texts, not musical hymns, which belong to the Samaveda, and the Upanishads, not the Puranas, form the Vedanta, so (2) and (4) are wrong. Option D.
Vedanta is the philosophical end of the Vedic tradition and the Rigveda contains the Gayatri mantra in its third book. The Brahmanas are ritual texts in prose, and the Puranas are mythological texts, not the Upanishads, so pairs (2) and (4) are wrongly matched.
