The Varkari tradition represents one of the most prominent socio-cultural and Bhakti heritage movements of Western India, creating rich vernacular literature and institutionalizing egalitarian devotional practices. Arrange the following saint-poets of this regional heritage in chronological order of their emergence and literary contributions, from earliest to latest:
- 1Sant Dnyaneshwar (Author of the seminal philosophical treatise 'Bhavartha Deepika' and composer of 'Amrutanubhav')
- 2Sant Namdev (Pioneer of the Varkari kirtan tradition who traveled to Northern India and whose devotional verses are preserved in the Guru Granth Sahib)
- 3Sant Eknath (Paithan-based scholar-saint who prepared the first critical edition of the Dnyaneshwari and popularized didactic folk compositions called 'Bharuds')
- 4Sant Tukaram (Dehu-based master of the devotional 'Abhanga' tradition whose lyrical compositions spearheaded the mass Bhakti resurgence in the seventeenth century)
Cevap
Sant Dnyaneshwar (late 13th century) → Sant Namdev (late 13th to mid-14th century) → Sant Eknath (16th century) → Sant Tukaram (17th century)
The Varkari tradition developed across four distinct chronological epochs: the foundational era initiated by Sant Dnyaneshwar in the late 13th century (1275–1296 CE), followed by Sant Namdev's pan-Indian expansion of the kirtan tradition in the 14th century (1270–1350 CE), the literary revival and integration of folk forms like Bharud by Sant Eknath in the 16th century (1533–1599 CE), and finally the zenith of popular Abhanga devotion led by Sant Tukaram in the 17th century (1608–1650 CE).
