Who among the following renowned Scholar wrote the biography of King Harsha and Kadambari?

A. Bharavi

B. Bhartrihari

C. Bana

D. Magha

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Bana’s biography of Harsha provides valuable information about the period, though with some obvious exaggeration in the emperor’s favour. Written in the ornate kavya style, involving extremely lengthy constructions, elaborate descriptions, and poetic devices, the work has great vitality and a wealth of keenly observed detail. His second great work, the prose romance Kadambari, is named for the heroine of the novel. The book describes the affairs of two sets of lovers through a series of incarnations. Both works were left unfinished; the second was completed by the author’s son, Bhusanabhatta.
