Who among the following had translated Chintamani Bhatt's Sanskrit text 'Suka Saptati' in Persian and gave it the title 'Tutinama' ?
Explanation
The Tutinama (Book of the Parrot) is a 14th-century Persian translation of the Sanskrit story collection Suka Saptati (Seventy Tales of a Parrot). It was translated by Khwaza Ziya-uddin Nakhshabi, a Persian physician and scholar who settled in Badaun, India, during the reign of Muhammad bin Tughlaq. Nakhshabi completed this work around 1330 CE, adapting the original stories into 52 tales.
The text is framed as a series of stories told by a parrot to its mistress, Khojasta, to prevent her from meeting a lover while her husband is away on a journey. This work gained significant fame and was later commissioned to be illustrated in a magnificent manuscript during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. Other options like Abdur Razzak (traveler), Amir Khusro (poet), and Shihabuddin-al-Umari (historian) are not associated with this specific translation.
