Jagannath Panditraja and Kavindrăcărya Saraswati were the Sanskrit intellectuals of the seventeenth century who had relations with the Mughal emperor Shahjahan.

  • Early modern Indian society is filled with examples of cross-cultural exchanges on all levels.
  • The Mughal courts of Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan had relations with Hindus, Muslims, and Jains intellectuals and were an integrated part of court life.
  • Shah Jahan sponsored some of the greatest Sanskrit thinkers of the seventeenth century, including Jagannatha Panditaraja and Kavindracarya Sarasvati.
  • Both of these luminaries are mentioned in Persian-language chronicles from Shah Jahan's reign.
  • While they are most well-known today for their contributions to Sanskrit intellectual culture, both were valued at the Mughal court as vernacular singers.

Hence, the correct answer is - Jagannath Panditraja and Kavindrăcărya Saraswati.
