"Yogavasistha" was translated into Persian by Nizamuddin Panipati during the reign of :
A
Akbar
Correct Answer
B
Humayun
C
Shahjahan
D
Aurangzeb
Explanation
Nizamuddin Panipati translated the *Yogavasistha* into Persian during the reign of Akbar, specifically dedicating the work to Prince Salim as part of the emperor's policy of cultural synthesis through the *Maktab Khana* (Translation Bureau). While Shahjahan’s reign is a tempting choice because his son Dara Shikoh later commissioned a more famous version of the same text, Panipati’s specific translation belongs to the late 16th century. The core concept tested is the Mughal patronage of Sanskrit-to-Persian translations as a tool for political and religious integration.
