Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Concept of Vedapurusha.
The Vedas are personified as Vedapurusha.
Different Vedangas (limbs of Veda) are symbolically represented as body parts of Vedapurusha.
Step 2: Vyakarana as an Anga.
Vyakarana, the science of grammar, is compared to the Mukham (mouth).
Just as the mouth helps in producing words and speech, grammar provides structure and clarity to language.

- (1) Ghranam (nose): Not linked with Vyakarana.
- (2) Mukham (mouth): Correct, Vyakarana is the mouth of Vedapurusha.
- (3) Chakshuh (eyes): Associated with Nirukta.
- (4) Shrotram (ears): Associated with Shiksha (phonetics).
Step 4: Conclusion.
Therefore, Vyakarana is the Mukham of Vedapurusha.
