Question 1

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

Hiuen Tsang, the famous Chinese traveller, visited India in the seventh century. He travelled extensively in India. He stayed for some time in Kanouj, at the court of the great Harashavardhana. He has left us graphic descriptions of the pomp and ceremony of the royal regalia and the lavish celebrations of Hindu festivals. During one particular festivity at the confluence of the Ganga and the Yamuna, many Princes would come to participate in the giving of gifts to the poor and the orphans.

Oh, how the footsteps of pilgrims and the cries of the poor and the needy have resounded across the length and breadth of the land from the most distant times! How those ancient banks of sacred rivers have heard voices of collective prayers and the shouts of joy of periodic pilgrims! If only the mute stones and steps could tell all the thrills they have witnessed, volumes of stirring stories would flow from them.

Hiuen Tsang spent a long period at the famed Nalanda, the great center of learning in classical India where students by the hundreds flocked from all over India and abroad. It had flourished in the remote century of Buddha and Mahavira and now when the Chinese pilgrim visited the place it seems to have been still full of life and intellectual vigour. For this is what the pilgrim notes. “The day is not sufficient for asking and answering profound questions. From morning till night they engage in discussions, the old and the young mutually help one another. If such is not an ideal place of learning, then what is?"

Why are the writings of Hiuen Tsang considered very important?
