The correct answer is A) Akbar.
The translation of the Sanskrit philosophical text “Yogavasistha” into Persian was undertaken by Nizamuddin Panipati during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. Akbar was known for his interest in religious and philosophical discussions and patronised the translation of various Indian texts into Persian.
Other notable Sanskrit works translated into Persian during Akbar’s reign include the Mahabharata (as Razmnama), Ramayana, Atharva Veda, and Panchatantra. These translations were part of Akbar’s efforts to foster understanding and syncretism between different religious and cultural traditions in his empire.
