Q1. The Sanskrit drama which describes Chandragupta Maurya's triumph over the Nanda is?

Mrichhakatika

Mudrarakshasa

Devichandragupta

Prabodhchadrodaya

Accepted Answer

Answer : Mudrarakshasa

The Mudrarakshasa (“Signet Ring of the Rakshasa,the chief minister of the last Nanda king”), a historical play in Sanskrit by Vishakhadatta (4th century CE) narrates the ascent of the king Chandragupta Maurya to power in Northern India with the aid of Chanakya, his Guru and chief minister.

The historical basis of the Mudrarakshasa is somewhat supported by the description of this period of history in Classical Hellenistic sources: the violent rule of the Nanda, the usurpation of Chandragupta, the formation of the Maurya Empire.
