Maagadha and chronicler profession

Maagadha (also spelled Magadha in some texts, but here referring to the professional bard/chronicler, not the kingdom) were professional bards, historians, and genealogists in ancient and medieval India who specialized in memorizing, preserving, and reciting chronicles, dynastic histories, genealogies, and epic tales. They were custodians of oral traditions and served royal courts and communities. Shramana (a) refers to Buddhist or Jain monks, Parivraajaka (b) refers to wandering ascetics, and Agrahaarika (c) refers to an officer or official (possibly related to Agrahara, a land grant). The Maagadhas were the professional memorizers and reciters of historical and legendary narratives. > Maagadha: professional chroniclers and epic reciters. Answer: (d).
