Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Gitagovinda - Jayadeva.

  • Shri Jayadeva wrote the Gitagovinda in the 12th century at Odisha.
  • It was a dedication of poet Jayadeva to Shri Jagannath, but such was the charm of his writing that the love lore of Shri Krishna and his consort Radha coloured the entire canvas of the Bhakti movement in Hinduism.
  • Written in Sanskrit, Jayadeva’s Gitagovinda eternalized the love tales of Sri Krishna and Devi Radha for all time to come.
