This question was cancelled (#) in the official MPSC final answer key.

Key Points:
• Linguistic Contributions of Sects in Maharashtra:
• Mahanubhav Sect: Founded in the 13th century by Chakradhar Swami, the Mahanubhav Panth strictly mandated the use of the local Marathi language ('Maharashtri Prakrit') to express philosophical and Vedic Sanskrit doctrines so common people could access divine knowledge.
• Varkari Sect: Saint Dnyaneshwar composed 'Bhavartha Deepika' (Dnyaneshwari) translating the Sanskrit Bhagavad Gita into Marathi, and Saint Eknath translated the Bhagavata Purana.
• Ambiguity & Cancellation: While both Mahanubhav and Varkari sects pioneered the democratisation of Sanskrit knowledge into Marathi, the question options had overlapping interpretations across sects. Consequently, MPSC CANCELLED (#) this question in the Final Answer Key.
• Key Takeaway: Both Mahanubhav and Varkari sects translated Sanskrit philosophical knowledge into Marathi. [Cancelled by MPSC #]
