Accepted Answer

Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A. Many Sanskrit works on music were translated into Persian during the medieval period like Ragdarpan, Vedas, Upnishads, Ramayana, Mahabharat, etc. The early chishti sufis were fond of musical assemblies called ‘Sama’. 'Sama' were musical recitations to create a mood of nearness to God. So both statements are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
