Discussion
Match the following and select the correct answer using the codes given below it :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| (a) Chhanda | (1) Mitra Misra |
| (b) Virmitrodaya | (2) A treatise on adoption |
| (c) Halhed's Code | (3) Mithila School |
| (d) Vivad Ratnakar | (4) Vedanga |
Answer: B
The key's answer is (a)-(4), (b)-(1), (c)-(2), (d)-(3).
Three pairs are certain. Chhanda (prosody) is one of the six Vedangas. The Viramitrodaya is the digest of Mitra Misra, written in the seventeenth century and a leading authority of the Benares school. The Vivada Ratnakara of Chandeshwara is a principal authority of the Mithila school.
That leaves item (2) for Halhed's Code. Halhed's A Code of Gentoo Laws (1776) was a general digest prepared for Warren Hastings rather than a treatise on adoption, so this last pairing is loose, but no other code gets the three certain pairs right: options A, C and D each misplace the Vedanga or Mitra Misra.
