-
- Kautilya
- Sudraka
- Rajasekhara
- Dandin
Correct Option: C
Rajashekhara has mentioned the river Narmada as the dividing line between Aryavarta and Dakshinapatha. Sanskrit literature names as the dividing-line between Aryavarta or the Uttarapatha and the Dakshinapatha, i.e. between northern and southern India, sometimes the Vindhya mountains, sometimes the river Nerbudda (Narmada, Narbada) which, flowing close along the south of the Vindhya range, empties itself into the gulf of Cambay near Broach, in Gujarat.
