Who among the following had translated Chintamani Bhatt's Sanskrit text 'Suka Saptati' in Persian and gave it the title 'Tutinama'?

1. A

   Khwaza Ziya-uddin Nakhshabi

   Khwaza Ziya-uddin Nakhshabi claims the credit for translating Chintamani Bhatt's Sanskrit text 'Suka Saptati' into Persian and titling it 'Tutinama'. He was a 14th-century physician and Sufi saint who undertook this literary work during the reign of Muhammad bin Tughluq or slightly earlier. This translation popularized the tales of a parrot across the Indo-Persian literary sphere. Therefore, this option is the correct official key because it accurately identifies the author of the Persian adaptation.

2. B

   Abdur Razzak

   Abdur Razzak claims a role in this translation work, but he was actually a 15th-century Persian ambassador and traveler who visited the Vijayanagara Empire. He wrote the historical chronicle 'Matla-us-Sa'dain wa Majma-ul-Bahrain' detailing his travels. He had no involvement in translating Sanskrit texts like 'Suka Saptati'. Thus, this option is incorrect.

3. C

   Shihabuddin-al-Umari

   Shihabuddin-al-Umari claims connection to this Persian text, though he was an Arab scholar and geographer who compiled the administrative encyclopedia 'Masalik al-absar fi mamalik al-amsar'. His work provides valuable descriptions of India under Muhammad bin Tughluq without translating indigenous stories. Consequently, this option is incorrect.

4. D

   Amir Khusro

   Amir Khusro claims authorship of 'Tutinama' in some popular misconceptions due to his prolific Persian poetry and prose in the Delhi Sultanate. However, while he pioneered many Indo-Persian literary forms, he did not translate 'Suka Saptati'. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Summary. Official key is (a) Khwaza Ziya-uddin Nakhshabi. He translated the Sanskrit collection of tales 'Suka Saptati' by Chintamani Bhatt into Persian, naming it 'Tutinama'. Other contemporary figures like Abdur Razzak and Shihabuddin-al-Umari belonged to different genres of travel writing and history. Amir Khusro is often confused as the author due to his fame, but Nakhshabi remains the actual translator. Hence, option (a) is the only correct choice.
