Which of the following pairs is NOT correctly matched?

A Dhruvadas – Bhagat Namawali
B Nabhadas – Bhaktamal
C Raskhan – Rasik Priya
D Usman – Chitra

Correct answer: (c) Raskhan – Rasik Priya

Explanation

  1. A

    Dhruvadas – Bhagat Namawali

    (a) Dhruvadas – Bhagat Namawali. Dhruvadas of the Radhavallabh tradition is tied to Bhagat Namavali-type hagiographic lists. This pair is treated as correctly matched.

  2. B

    Nabhadas – Bhaktamal

    (b) Nabhadas – Bhaktamal. Nabhadas composed the Bhaktamal, the classic Vaishnava saint-chronicle. The pair is correct.

  3. C

    Raskhan – Rasik Priya

    (c) Raskhan – Rasik Priya. Rasik Priya is Keshavdas’s Braj treatise on nayika-bheda, not Raskhan’s work. Raskhan wrote Prem Vatika and Sujan Raskhan. That mismatch is the official key.

  4. D

    Usman – Chitra

    (d) Usman – Chitra. Usman is the poet of Chitravali (here styled Chitra), a Sufi premakhyan. The paper treats the pair as matched.

Summary. Official key is (c) Raskhan – Rasik Priya. Rasik Priya belongs to Keshavdas of Orchha; Raskhan is a Krishna-bhakta Pathan poet. Dhruvadas, Nabhadas and Usman stay with their listed books. Neighbouring titles are Ramchandrika (Keshavdas) and Prem Vatika (Raskhan).
