Who among the following were famous jurists of medieval India ? I. Vijnanesvara II. Hemadri III. Rajasekhara IV. Jimutavahana Choose the correct answer from the codes given below : Codes :
Explanation
Vijñāneśvara (Vijnanesvara) was the author of the Mitākṣarā, the influential commentary on Yājñavalkya Smṛti that shaped Hindu law across much of India [1]. The Dāyabhāga school, distinct from the Mitākṣarā, prevailed in Bengal and Assam, reflecting a separate juristic tradition associated with Jimutavāhana’s Dayabhāga; this confirms Jimutavāhana’s place among medieval jurists. Hemadri (Hemadpant), author of Chaturvarga Chintāmaṇi, was likewise a medieval legal scholar and commentator. By contrast, Rājashekhara is known principally as a poet and dramatist rather than a jurist. Hence the jurists among the list are I, II and IV (Vijnanesvara, Hemadri and Jimutavahana), corresponding to option 3. [1]
