A.Prose composition (non-metrical literary text)
B.Only Vedic metres

2Padya (पद्य) in contrast to gadya mainly means:
A.Only sandhi tables
B.Metrical verse composition
C.Only legal codes

A.Only pure Vedic chant without story
B.Only modern free verse in English
C.A mixed composition of prose and verse
D.Only a list of sandhi rules
Explanation: Campū (campū-kāvya) interweaves gadya and padya—a hallmark mixed form in classical Sanskrit literature.
4Kādambarī by Bāṇabhaṭṭa is celebrated chiefly as a:
A.Only a grammar sūtra collection
B.Only a medical compendium
C.Only a modern Hindi novel series
D.Sanskrit prose romance (gadya-kāvya)

A.Kālidāsa only
B.Daṇḍin
C.Pāṇini
D.Āryabhaṭa

A.Only pure Vedic anuvāka chant
B.Only modern punctuation practice
C.Samāsa-heavy ornamental style (especially in Bāṇa-type gadya)

8Hitopadeśa prose narratives are primarily designed as:
A.Only pure musical scores
B.Only temple architecture manuals
C.Only sandhi answer keys
D.Didactic fable-stories teaching nīti (practical wisdom)

A.Political and practical wisdom (nīti) through fables
B.Only pure geometry proofs
C.Only medical diagnosis
