    Correct option 3: Shudraka

    Mrichchhakatika, meaning The Little Clay Cart, is a ten-act Sanskrit play written by Shudraka, a legendary king and scholar believed to have lived around the 5th century CE. Unlike typical Sanskrit dramas that focused on royalty or divine themes, this play stands out for its realistic portrayal of urban life and ordinary people. It tells the love story of Charudatta, a noble but poor Brahmin, and Vasantasena, a wealthy courtesan, set against a backdrop of political intrigue and social injustice. Known for its rich characters, humor, and progressive views, the play remains one of the most celebrated works in classical Indian literature.
