The correct answer is Raidas.

Tradition holds that Mirabai, the famous Rajput princess and devotee of Krishna, was a disciple of Saint Raidas (also known as Ravidas). Raidas was a revered saint of the Bhakti movement from the 15th to 16th century, contemporary to Kabir and Guru Nanak.

Ramanand was an earlier saint (14th-15th century) considered the guru of Kabir and other prominent Bhakti figures. Dadu Dayal (16th-17th century) founded the Dadupanthis tradition. Surdas (15th-16th century) was a blind poet known for his devotion to Krishna and his compositions in Braj Bhasha. While these were all significant figures in the Bhakti movement, Raidas is widely accepted as Mirabai’s preceptor.
