Which states had a relation with Gautama Buddha’s life?
- Avanti
- Gandhara
- Kosala
- Magadha
Choose the correct option from the following.
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Buddha spent most of his teaching life in the eastern Gangetic plain, especially Kosala (Sravasti, where King Prasenajit was a patron) and Magadha (Rajgriha, where Bimbisara and Ajatashatru patronised him). Avanti and Gandhara lay outside his sphere of activity and aren't connected to his life, so only Kosala and Magadha qualify.
