B. Dadu Dayal Ra Doha
C. Both A and B
D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint:
Dadu Dayal was a saint from North India. "Dadu" means that brother, and Dayal means that kind one. All his sermons are recorded in two books called "Dadu Dayal Ri Vani" and "Dadu Dayal Ra Doha".

Complete answer:
Dadu Dayal (Dadu Dayal Dadoodayal, 1544–1603) was a poet-tainted saint from Gujarat, India, a religious reformer who spoke against formalism and priestcraft. Dadu Dayal later moved to Naraina, near Jaipur Rajasthan, where he gathered himself as a group of followers, forming a sect known as Dadupanth.

Dadupanthi is one of the 7 martial akhadas of the Vaishnava sect of Hindus. There are four major sects of Vaishnavism:
- Sri Dadupanthi founded by Ramananda is one of the 7 martial akharas of Vaishnavism in the religion of Ramanada.
- Brahma established by Madhava.
- Riddle founded by Vishnu Vaman.
- Sancadi founded by Nimbark.
 Followers of Vaishnavism are also known as Bairagi or Vairagi. Among the Bairagi, who became part of the military arenas, 7 of them were held in the arenas, most of which are obscure. Each person of the Akharas accepted members of all the 4 sects of Vaishnavism. Bairagi military akharas generally did not comply with the ban against meat eating or drug abuse.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note:
Dadu had 100 disciples who attained samadhi. He instructed additional 52 disciples to set up ashrams, 'thumbs' around the region to spread the word of God. Dadupanth continues in present day Rajasthan and has been a significant supply of early manuscripts sung by Dadu and alternative North Indian saints.
