Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Sangram Shah (reigned in the first half of the 16th century) was a powerful ruler of the Garha-Mandla Gond kingdom in present-day Madhya Pradesh and a great patron and scholar of Sanskrit. He authored the Sanskrit text 'Rasratnamala' (Ras Ratna mala), a work on rasashastra (Indian alchemy and medicinal preparations). Hence the answer is 'Ras Ratna mala'. The other titles belong to unrelated authors and traditions: 'Vivek Sindhu' (Marathi, Mukundaraja), 'Advaita Siddhi' (Madhusudana Saraswati), and 'Muhurta Matrika' (a muhurta/astrology text).
