Matching Kings with Kingdoms
This question requires matching historical and mythological figures (kings) from List-I with their corresponding kingdoms from List-II.
List-I and List-II Analysis
We analyze each item in List-I to determine its correct association in List-II:
- a. Asvapati: Known as the King of Kekaya, often mentioned in ancient Indian texts like the Upanishads. Therefore, Asvapati is matched with Kekaya (ii).
- b. Parikshit: A significant king in the Mahabharata epic, he ruled the Kuru kingdom after the Kurukshetra War. Thus, Parikshit is matched with Kuru (iii).
- c. Nichakshu: A successor in the Kuru lineage, Nichakshu relocated the capital from Hastinapura to Kausambi (Vatsabhumi) due to floods. Therefore, Nichakshu is matched with Vatsabhumi (iv).
- d. Pradyota Mahasena: A ruler of the Pradyota dynasty, associated with the kingdom of Avanti. Hence, Pradyota Mahasena is matched with Avanti (i).
Final Matching
Based on the analysis, the correct pairings are:
- Asvapati - Kekaya (ii)
- Parikshit - Kuru (iii)
- Nichakshu - Vatsabhumi (iv)
- Pradyota Mahasena - Avanti (i)
This corresponds to the matching: a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i.
