Explanation:
Odia is a classical language spoken in the eastern Indian state of Odisha. It is one of the 22 official languages of India and is recognized as a linguistic minority language in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh.
Statement 1: It is the mother of the eastern Indo-Aryan languages.
- This statement is correct. Odia is considered as the mother of eastern Indo-Aryan languages such as Bengali, Assamese, and Maithili. These languages have evolved from the Magadhi Prakrit and Sanskrit languages.
Statement 2: Sanskrit is the language from which it is derived.
- This statement is incorrect. While Odia has borrowed many words from Sanskrit, it is not derived from Sanskrit. Odia has its own unique grammar and vocabulary.
Statement 3: Mahabharata was written in Odia by Adikabi Sarala Das.
- This statement is incorrect. The Mahabharata was originally written in Sanskrit, and there are many translations of it in various Indian languages, including Odia. However, it was not written in Odia by Adikabi Sarala Das.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is option D, as only statement 2 is incorrect. Odia is the mother of eastern Indo-Aryan languages, and while it has borrowed words from Sanskrit, it is not derived from Sanskrit. The Mahabharata was originally written in Sanskrit, and not in Odia by Adikabi Sarala Das.
