  1. Both Jatakas and Milinda Panha comprise stories of previous births of Buddha.
  2. Both Suttavibhanga and Kathavattu are books of the Vinaya Pitaka.
Select the correct option from the codes given below:
Answer: Neither 1 nor 2
Notes: The Jatakas narrate the previous births of Buddha, but Milinda Panha is a dialogue between Nagasena and King Menander. Suttavibhanga is part of Vinaya Pitaka, but Kathavatthu belongs to Abhidhamma Pitaka. Thus, neither statement is correct as per canonical Buddhist literature.
