Question

Match List - I with List - II. \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|l|} \hline \text{List - I} & & \text{List - II} & \\ \hline A. & \text{Erotic} & I. & \text{Vera} \\ \hline B. & \text{Comic} & II. & \text{Hāsya} \\ \hline C. & \text{Pathetic} & III. & \text{Śṛṅgāra} \\ \hline D. & \text{Heroic} & IV. & \text{Karuṇa} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below: 

• A. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• B. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
• C. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
• D. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II

Hint:

Remember these important Rasas: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Śṛṅgāra} &\rightarrow \text{Erotic}, \text{Hāsya} &\rightarrow \text{Comic}, \text{Karuṇa} &\rightarrow \text{Pathetic}, \text{Vīra} &\rightarrow \text{Heroic}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Shringara--Love, Hasya--Laugh, Karuna--Compassion, Veera--Valour.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: The Navarasas (nine emotions) of Indian aesthetics associate each emotion with a corresponding Sanskrit name.

Step 1: Match each emotion with its Sanskrit equivalent. \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Erotic} &\rightarrow \text{Śṛṅgāra}, \text{Comic} &\rightarrow \text{Hāsya}, \text{Pathetic} &\rightarrow \text{Karuṇa}, \text{Heroic} &\rightarrow \text{Vīra\;(printed as Vera)}. \end{aligned} } \]

Step 2: Write the correct sequence. \[ \boxed{ A\text{-}III,\; B\text{-}II,\; C\text{-}IV,\; D\text{-}I } \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(C)}} \]
