Select the correct option from the codes given below:

Answer: 1, 2, 3 and 4
Notes: Akbar established the translation bureau to bridge the cultural gap between the ruling elite and the subjects. Faizi translated the mathematical treatise Lilavati. The Razmnama was the Persian version of the Mahabharata. Rajatarangini (History of Kashmir) and the Panchatantra (as Anwar-i-Suhaili) were also translated to integrate Indian intellectual heritage into the Persianate court culture.
