Explanation: About 500 years after Mahavira’s death, in about 79 or 82 CE, a schism occurred in Jainism.

• Magadha was affected by severe famine and some of the Jaina monks under Bhadrabahu went south to maintain their strict discipline.
• They remained without garments and were known as Digambaras (space-clad or naked).
• Others stayed back under the leadership of Sthulabhadra and adopted a white garment and were known as Svetambaras (white-clad).
