Q. Consider the following statements: - Mahaviracharita, which deals with the life of Mahavira, forms a part of the Trisastisalaka Purushacharita authored by Hemachandra.
- Parisistaparvan (also called Sthaviravali-Charita) serves as a biographical account of the earliest teachers of Jainism and details their order of succession.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer:
Both 1 and 2
Notes: Mahaviracharita constitutes the final part of Hemachandra's Trisastisalaka Purushacharita, depicting Mahavira's life. The Parisistaparvan, appended to this work, documents biographies and the succession of early Jain teachers. Both statements are accurate; hence, option 2 is correct.
