| Assertion (A): Like Buddha, Jain Tirthankar is depicted on some Kushan coins. |
| Reason (R): Mathura was a great centre of Jainism during the Kushan period |
A) Both A and R are true, R is the correct explanation of A
B) Both A and R are true, but R is not correct explanation of A
C) A is true, but R is false
D) A is false, but R is true
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
The assertion given is wrong. Buddha was depicted on Kushana coins, which was an indication of the prevalence of non-Bralimanical religion or Buddhism, during the reign of the Kushanas. Such depiction also implied the patronage given to Buddhism by the Kushana rulers. We do not have any evidence of Jaina Tirthankaras being depicted on the Kushana coins.
