Mahavira - 2024 ARGOS - Buzzpoints App

Question

Makkhali Gosala uprooted a sesame plant to frustrate a prophecy made by this man that came true when a sudden rain revived it. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this man whose teaching of Gosala is recorded in the Bhagavati Sutra, one of the twelve Agamas containing the teachings of this Jina and twenty-fourth Tirthankara.

ANSWER: Mahavira [or Vadhamana]

[10h] Jain scripture alleges that Mahavira's predictions inspired Gosala's founding of the fatalist Ajivika school, which is classified alongside Jainism and Buddhism as one of these renunciant traditions that arose in Greater Magadha in opposition to Brahmin-dominated Vedic religion.

ANSWER: śramaṇa ("SHRUH-mahn-uh") movement(s) [or word forms such as sramanas or sramanic; accept samana]

[10m] The spread of śramaṇa traditions is credited in part to their use of these “natural” vernacular languages such as Pali, which are traditionally contrasted with “well-crafted” Vedic Sanskrit.

ANSWER: Prakrits [or prākṛta; or Prakrit languages or Prakrit dialects; reject “Prakriti”]
