Hint:

In murchchhana questions, focus on the starting swara because each murchchhana is identified by the swara from which the sequence begins.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Murchchhana is an ancient Indian music concept. It means arranging the swaras of a grama by starting from different swaras. Each murchchhana has a specific starting swara.

Step 1: Match Shudha Shadaja.
Shudha Shadaja is matched with Rishabha in the given system. \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Match Ashwakranta.
Ashwakranta is matched with Dhainwat. \[ B \rightarrow II \]

Step 3: Match Uttrvata.
Uttrvata is matched with Gandhar. \[ C \rightarrow I \]

Step 4: Match Abhirudgata.
Abhirudgata is matched with Pancham. \[ D \rightarrow IV \]

Step 5: Final matching.
Thus: \[ A-III,\ B-II,\ C-I,\ D-IV \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(A)}} \]
