Question:

When is it largely believed that Bihari Lal composed "Bihari Satsai"?

Options:

1600

1662

1700

1750

Correct Answer:

1662

Explanation:

Answer: 1662
"Bihari Satsai" is largely believed to have been composed around 1662.

Bihari Satsai, authored by Bihari Lal, constituting 700 verses (satsai), is composed in the form of aphorisms and moralising witticism. It is largely held that he composed the Satsai around 1662 while he was at the court of Jaipur working for Mirza Raja Jai singh as the patron’s name appears in several verses of the Satsai. The Satsai has been largely painted at Mewar and less frequently in the Pahari School.
