Explanation
★Both statements are true but the reason does not fully explain the assertion, so the answer is both true with R not explaining A.
★Many Sanskrit treatises on music were indeed rendered into Persian in the medieval period.
★This reflected the wide interest of the courts and scholars in Indian music.
★The early Chishti Sufis did love the Sama, the musical assembly that aided spiritual ecstasy.
★Their love of Sama is one cause of interest in music but not the whole reason for the translations.
★Royal patronage and scholarly curiosity also drove the translation of these works.
