Q. Jagnik, the folk poet, was court poet of which ruler?
Answer: Parmal Dev Chandela of Kalinjar
Notes: The folk poet Jagnik was the court poet of the Chandela ruler Paramardideva (also known as Parmal or Parimal) of Mahoba.  Jagnik is traditionally credited with composing the epic ballad Alha-Khand (also known as Paramal Raso or Alha Raso), which narrates the heroic deeds of two legendary Banaphar warrior brothers, Alha and Udal, who were generals in King Paramardideva's army. This work is a vital part of the North Indian medieval heroic ballad tradition and is still popular today. Alha Khand narrates 52 battles fought by Alha and Udal
