Talib Amuli
Incorrect AnswerMulla Abdul Baqi
Incorrect AnswerMirza Muhammad Ali
Incorrect AnswerAzizuddin Khan
Correct AnswerExplanation:
- Talib Amuli: He was a Persian poet and not particularly known for translating Sanskrit texts collected by Firoz Tuglaq.
- Mulla Abdul Baqi: Known more for his scholarly work in Persian poetry and literature, he wasn't associated with the translation of Sanskrit texts.
- Mirza Muhammad Ali: There is no significant record of him being involved in translating Sanskrit texts collected by Firoz Tuglaq.
- Azizuddin Khan: While an interesting figure, there isn't substantive evidence or records linking him explicitly with the translation of these Sanskrit texts. According to Farishta,
During Firoz Shah's campaign to Nagarkot he visited the Jwalamukhi Temple also, the Sultan collected 300 Sanskrit manuscripts from the Jawalamukhi temple library.
Arizuddin Khan translated them into Persian under the title Dalail-i-Firoz-Shahi. Hence option 4 is correct.
The historical figure known for translating Firoz Tuglaq's collection is not prominently listed among these options. This appears to be a more niche or under-documented historical detail, so records might be incomplete.
