Consider the following statements : 1. 'Bijak' is a composition of the teachings of Saint Dadu Dayal. 2. The Philosophy of Pushti Marg was propounded by Madhvacharya. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A
1 only
B
2 only
C
Both 1 and 2
D
Neither 1 nor 2
Correct Answer
Explanation
Option (d) is correct because both statements are factually inaccurate: 'Bijak' is the most famous compilation of the teachings of **Kabir Das** (not Dadu Dayal), and the philosophy of 'Pushti Marg' was propounded by **Vallabhacharya** (not Madhvacharya). A common pitfall is misattributing these specific doctrines, as Madhvacharya is actually associated with the *Dvaita* (dualism) school of Vedanta. The core concept being tested is the **Bhakti Movement**, specifically the literary works and philosophical schools associated with prominent medieval Indian saints.
