Consider the following statements : 1. Saint Nimbarka was a contemporary of Akbar. 2. Saint Kabir was greatly influenced by Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. Statement 1 is incorrect. Saint Nimbarka, a Vaishnava philosopher associated with the Dvaitadvaita school, is generally placed in the 13th or 14th century, well before the Mughal emperor Akbar (reigned 1556-1605 CE). They were not contemporaries. 2. Statement 2 is incorrect. Saint Kabir, a prominent mystic poet and saint of the Bhakti movement, lived in the 15th century (c. 1398/1440 – c. 1448/1518). Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi, a significant Naqshbandi Sufi scholar and revivalist, lived much later (1564–1624). Therefore, Kabir could not have been influenced by Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi. 3. Since both statements are incorrect, the correct option is (D).
