Which is the earliest literature of Kashmiri language?

Kalhana's Rajtarangini
Shitikantha Acharya's Mahanaya-Prakash
Abhinavgupta's Tantrasara
None of the above

The earliest literature of Kashmiri language is the Rajatarangini, a chronicle of the kings of Kashmir, written by Kalhana in the 12th century. The Rajatarangini is a valuable source of information about the history of Kashmir, and it is also a work of great literary merit.

The Shitikantha Acharya’s Mahanaya-Prakash is a treatise on Sanskrit poetics, written in the 11th century. The Abhinavgupta’s Tantrasara is a treatise on Tantra, written in the 10th century. Both of these works are important texts in the history of Kashmiri literature, but they are not the earliest literature of the language.

The correct answer is A. Kalhana’s Rajtarangini.
