Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

All three statements are correct.

  • Statement 1: Rana Kumbha was a great scholar who authored Rasikapriya, a commentary on Jayadeva's Gita Govinda.
  • Statement 2: He was a prolific writer and is credited with composing four dramas using four different provincial languages to showcase his linguistic skills.
  • Statement 3: He erected the famous victory tower in Chittorgarh to commemorate his triumph over the combined armies of Malwa and Gujarat. While it is widely known as the Vijay Stambha today, historical inscriptions (composed by Atri and Mahesh) refer to it as the Kirttistambha (Tower of Fame). Though there is an older 12th-century Jain Kirti Stambha in the same fort, the victory tower built by Rana Kumbha is also technically recognized by this name in architectural texts.
