Question:

Which statement about the court patronage during the composition of "Bihari Satsai" is incorrect?

Options:

Bihari Lal was patronized by Mirza Raja Jai Singh.

The composition occurred at the court of Jaipur.

Udaipur was the center of artistic inspiration.

The patron's name appears in several verses of the Satsai.

Correct Answer:

Udaipur was the center of artistic inspiration.

Explanation:

Answer:  Udaipur was the center of artistic inspiration.
The incorrect statement is (3). The composition of "Bihari Satsai" occurred at the court of Jaipur, not Udaipur.

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.
