Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Keshavdas (Keshav Das) was the court poet of Maharaja Indrajit Singh of Orchha. He composed “Kavipriya” (Kavi Priya) — a manual of poetics — and presented it for the instruction of Rai Praveen (Praveen Rai), the gifted courtesan and disciple who was the beloved of Indrajit Singh. Hence the correct answer is Kavi Priya. (Rasik Priya is Keshavdas’s treatise on poetic theory and rasa; Ratan Bavani praises Ratan Sen; Nakhshikh is a technical descriptive poem — none of these were written to teach Rai Praveen.)
