Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Neither 1 nor 2
‘Bijak’ is the principal scripture of the Kabir-Panth and contains Kabir’s dohas and sayings, not those of Dadu Dayal, so statement 1 is wrong. Pushti Marg (Path of Grace) and its Śuddhādvaita philosophy were founded by Vallabhacharya (1479-1530), not by the dualist saint Madhvacharya, so statement 2 is also wrong; hence neither statement is correct.
