Options:

1

2

3

4

Correct Answer:

1

Explanation:

Answer: Mirza Raja Jai Singh
Bihari Lal was patronized by Mirza Raja Jai Singh while composing "Bihari Satsai."

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.
