Question
In ancient South Asian sources, this kind of people were referred to by a term referring to their status as being “free from knots.” A Gujarati group of these people who migrated from Palanpur usurped Antwerp’s Hasidic community’s control of the diamond trade. Extraordinarily rich examples of these people include Shantidas Jhaveri and the Jagat (“JUH-guth”) Seth family, who served the Mughals and the Nawabs of Bengal. Many of these people allegedly moved south after one of these people convinced a ruler that his conquests would cause a (*) twelve-year famine. Legendarily, Bhadrabahu’s teachings led a king to become one of these people and leave his kingdom to Bindusara. For 10 points, Chandragupta Maurya allegedly starved himself in accordance with the principles of what religious group, following the tradition of their Digambara school? ■END■
