With reference to the scholars/litterateurs of ancient India, consider the following statements: 1. Panini is associated with Pushyamitra Shunga. 2. Amarasimha is associated with Harshavardhana. 3. Kalidasa is associated with Chandra Gupta - II. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. Statement 1 is incorrect. Panini, the celebrated Sanskrit grammarian known for the Ashtadhyayi, lived much earlier, generally dated to around the 5th or 4th century BCE. Pushyamitra Shunga founded the Shunga dynasty around 185 BCE. Therefore, Panini was not associated with Pushyamitra Shunga. 2. Statement 2 is incorrect. Amarasimha, the author of the Sanskrit thesaurus 'Amarakosha', is traditionally considered one of the nine gems (Navaratnas) at the court of Chandra Gupta - II (Vikramaditya), who ruled during the Gupta period (c. 380-415 CE). Harshavardhana ruled much later (c. 606-647 CE). Hence, Amarasimha is not associated with Harshavardhana. 3. Statement 3 is correct. Kalidasa, one of India's greatest poets and playwrights, is widely believed to have flourished during the reign of Chandra Gupta - II (Vikramaditya) and was likely one of the Navaratnas at his court. 4. Therefore, only statement 3 is correct.
