The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Tansen.
Raga Deepak is traditionally associated with the legendary musician Tansen, one of the nine jewels (Navaratnas) in the court of Mughal Emperor Akbar.
According to popular legend, Tansen had the ability to perform miracles through his music. It is said that when he sang Raga Deepak, which is believed to generate intense heat, it could light lamps or even cause physical discomfort due to its fiery nature. To counteract the effects of Raga Deepak, it is said that two other singers were instructed to sing Raga Megh Malhar, a raga associated with rain, to cool down the environment.
