The “Bhagavatisutra” text is related to which of the following? |ForumIAS

[A] Jainism

[B] Buddhism

[C] Lokayata

[D] Ajivikas

Answer: A

Notes:

Explanation: There was intense rivalry among the various heterodox sects. This is evident from the various religious accounts of the period.

Buddhist and Jaina texts not only mention other heterodox sects but also belittle them.
For example, Bhagavatisutra, a Jaina text, provides a poor account of Makkhali Gosala.
