- Statement I: Ragas like Kanada, Kedar, and Sarang are indeed often associated with Krishna devotion and Bhakti music, making this statement likely correct. - Statement II: Kedar raga is a raga suitable for devotional music. Narsinh Mehta was a significant Gujarati Bhakti poet who composed many songs dedicated to Krishna. It is plausible that he used Kedar raga to express his devotion, making this statement likely correct in the context of Bhakti tradition. - Statement III: While Sarang ragas (like Brindavani Sarang) are associated with Vraj and Krishna, and are used for songs like Hori (Holi songs), the claim that only marriage songs, season songs, and hori songs are sung in Sarang is incorrect. Many ragas are used for various types of songs, and Sarang ragas have broader applications than exclusively these categories.
Which of the following statements are correct? I. Kanada, Kedar and Sarang are included in the ragas which are specifically sung in Krishna devotion. II. Kedar raga was dear to Krishna. Narsinh Mehta sang this raga to please Krishna. III. Sarang is popularly sung in Vraj. Marriage songs, season songs and hori songs are only sung in Sarang.
