Answer:
Only 1, 2 & 3
Notes: Dara Shikoh is personally credited with the Persian translation of 50 Upanishads (titled Sirr-i-Akbar). He also oversaw the translations of the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Vasistha. While the Ramayana had been translated earlier (during Akbar’s reign), Dara's focus was primarily on philosophical and mystical texts.
