Match List I with List II and select the correct answer from the codes given below :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| (a) Maitri | (1) Puṇya |
| (b) Karuṇa | (2) Sukha |
| (c) Mudita | (3) Apuṇya |
| (d) Upekṣā | (4) Duḥkha |
Answer: B
The correct code is a-2, b-4, c-1, d-3.
The pairs come from Yoga Sutra 1.33, which prescribes four attitudes that make the mind calm and clear: friendliness (maitri) towards the happy (sukha), compassion (karuna) towards those in sorrow (duhkha), gladness (mudita) towards the virtuous (punya), and indifference (upeksa) towards the wicked (apunya).
The first code reverses the last two pairs, giving gladness to the wicked and indifference to the virtuous. The third and fourth codes pair compassion with virtue or friendliness with vice, which are not Patanjali's matches.
