Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The question requires matching medieval Bengali authors with their poetical works. Brindavan Das (A) is the author of 'Chaitanyamangal' [1], which is one of the earliest biographies of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Krishnadasa Kaviraja (B) wrote the 'Chaitanyacharitamrita', a definitive hagiography of Chaitanya. Mukundaram Chakravarti (C), also known as Kavikankan, is the celebrated author of 'Chandimangal', a masterpiece of the Mangal-Kavya tradition. Rameshwar Bhattacharya (D) is the author of 'Shivasankirttan' (also known as Shivayan), which depicts the life of Lord Shiva in a rural Bengali context. Therefore, the correct mapping is A-4, B-3, C-2, and D-1. These works represent the flourishing of the Bhakti movement and regional literature in medieval Bengal, blending religious devotion with local cultural narratives.
