Who translated Mahabharata into Persian?
A) Jahangir
B) Aurangzeb
C) Akbar
D) Shahjahan

Answer 1

The correct answer is  C) Akbar

The Persian translation of the Mahabharata is called "Razmnamah".

In Persian, “Razm” means “war” and "nama" means “tale” or “epic”.

Hence, the name , refers to a tale of war.

A copy of this translation work can be found in the “City Palace Museum” of Jaipur, Rajasthan, an erstwhile princely state in the country of India.

The paintings of the events of Mahabharata in the "Razmnamah" book is the main feature.

Akbar in the year started an Ibadat Khana or a house of translation works in Fatehpur Sikri. He alloted the translation of many Sanskrit books also viz., Rajatarangini, Ramayana, etc. into the Persian language.
