2. Goutama Buddha’s mother was a princess from the Kosha-lan dynasty.
3. Parshvanatha, the 23rd Tirthankara, belonged to Banaras.
Which of these statements is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C because of the following reasons:

Statement 1 is incorrect. Vardhamana Mahavira mother, Trishala, was the sister of the Lichchhavi chief Chetaka, not his daughter.

Statement 2 is correct. Gautama Buddha mother, Mahamaya, was a princess of the Koliyan clan, which was a branch of the Koshalan dynasty.

Statement 3 is correct. Parshvanatha, the 23rd Tirthankara of Jainism, was the son of King Ashvasena of Banaras (Varanasi).

Since statements 2 and 3 are accurate and statement 1 is false, the answer is 2 and 3.
