Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
Gita Govinda was composed by Jayadeva in the 12th century in Sanskrit. It describes the love of Krishna, the cowherd, with Radha, so its title literally means Song of the Cowherd. Rasamanjari (Bhanudatta) and Rasikapriya and Kavipriya (Keshavdas) belong to later periods and are not Sanskrit songs of Krishna as cowherd in this sense.
