Urubhanga is a Sanskrit play written by Bhasa. It focuses on the story of the character Duryodhana during and after his fight with Bhima. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect.
Ratnavali is a Sanskrit drama about a beautiful princess named Ratnavali, and a great king named Udayana. It is attributed to the Indian emperor Harsha. Apart from Ratnavali, Harsha has written two more plays – “Priyadarshika” (union of Udayana and Priyadarshika, daughter of King Dridhavarman) and “Naganand” (story of how prince Jimutavahana gives up his own body to stop a sacrifice of serpents to the divine Garuda). Hence, statement 2 is correct.
Amuktamalyada is an epic poem in Telugu composed by Krishnadevaraya of the Vijayanagar Dynasty. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.
