Key Points

• This question matches ancient Indian place names with their modern states.
• (a) Karnasuvarna → (3) West Bengal. Karnasuvarna was the capital of Shashanka, the powerful 7th-century ruler of Gauda, located near modern Murshidabad.
• (b) Pragjyotisha → (4) Assam. Pragjyotisha, later known as Kamarupa, is the ancient name for Assam and is mentioned in the Mahabharata and in the Allahabad Pillar Inscription of Samudragupta.
• (c) Girnar → (2) Gujarat. Girnar near Junagadh carries the Major Rock Edicts of Ashoka and the Junagadh Rock Inscription of Rudradaman I, the earliest known long inscription in Sanskrit, which records repairs to Sudarshan Lake.
• (d) Pratishthana → (1) Maharashtra. Pratishthana (modern Paithan) on the Godavari was the capital of the Satavahana dynasty.
