Q93
History of IndiaBhakti, Sufi & Medieval Culture
Mukundaram was the author of
  1. a.Padma Puran
  2. b.Barsha Mongal
  3. c.Chandi Mongal
  4. d.None of the above

Answer: (C) Chandi Mongal

Mukundaram Chakrabarti, honoured as Kavikankan, wrote the Chandimangal in the 16th century, a Bengali mangal-kavya praising the goddess Chandi that gives a vivid picture of rural Bengal. Padma Puran is the tempting option, because Bijay Gupta's Bengali Manasamangal on the snake goddess Manasa (Padma) is also called Padmapuran. Barsha Mongal is not a work of Mukundaram. Since (C) is correct, 'None of the above' is wrong.
