The correct statement is "3 only".

Kalidasa is associated with Chandra Gupta-II, the great king of the Gupta dynasty. Kalidasa was a Sanskrit writer and poet who is regarded as one of the greatest writers of ancient India. He wrote several plays, including Shakuntala and Meghadutam, and is also known for his epic poems and lyrical poetry.

Panini is associated with the grammar of Sanskrit language. He is known for his work on the Sanskrit grammar named Ashtadhyayi, which is one of the earliest known works on linguistics. However, there is no clear association between Panini and Pushyamitra Shunga.

Amarasimha was a Sanskrit writer and lexicographer who is known for his work Amarakosha, a Sanskrit thesaurus. He lived in the 5th century CE, while Harshavardhana was a ruler who lived in the 7th century CE. Therefore, there is no clear association between Amarasimha and Harshavardhana.

Therefore, the correct statement is "3 only".
