(b) Jayasimha
(c) Muktapida
(d) Anantavarman
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
Jayasimha is the last king described in the Rajatarangini of Kalhana. From this, comes Stein’s deduction that Kalhana was not a part of the circle surrounding Jayasimha, the ruling monarch at the time when he was writing the Rajatarangini. Kalhana was born to a Kashmiri minister, Canpaka, who probably served king Harsa of the Lohara dynasty.
It is possible that his birthplace was Parihasapura and his birth would have been very early in the 12th century.
