Accepted Answer

Let's evaluate each pair:

2. Dignaga - Buddhist scholar: This pair is correctly matched. Dignaga was a highly influential Buddhist logician and philosopher from the 5th century CE, known for his foundational contributions to Buddhist epistemology and logic.
3. Nathamuni - Vaishnava scholar: This pair is correctly matched. Nathamuni was a revered Vaishnava acharya from the 9th-10th century CE, who is credited with systematizing the Vaishnava devotional hymns (Divya Prabandham) of the Alvars, laying the foundation for the Srivaishnava tradition.
