Q57 (UPPCS/2021) History & Culture › Culture, Literature, Religion & Philosophy

Which one of the following pairs is NOT correctly matched?
(Tirthankar) (Nirvan Place)

Explanation

In Jainism, out of the 24 Tirthankaras, 20 attained Nirvana at Sammed Shikharji (Parashnath Hill, Jharkhand). However, four Tirthankaras attained salvation at different locations:

  • Rishabhanath (1st): Attained Nirvana at Ashtapad (Mount Kailash).
  • Vasupujya (12th): Attained Nirvana at Champapuri (Bihar).
  • Neminath (22nd): Attained Nirvana at Urjayanta (Mount Girnar, Gujarat).
  • Mahavira (24th): Attained Nirvana at Pavapuri (Bihar).

Therefore, the pair Vasupujya - Sammedashikhar is NOT correctly matched because Vasupujya attained Nirvana at Champapuri, not Sammed Shikharji.
