'Tirthankar' and 'Tathāgata' are terms associated with :

  • A.Jainism and Hinduism
  • B.Jainism and Buddhism
  • C.Sikhism and Hinduism
  • D.Judaism and Jainism

Answer: B

'Tirthankar' and 'Tathāgata' are associated with Jainism and Buddhism.

A Tīrthaṅkara, 'ford-maker', is one of the twenty-four teachers of Jainism who have crossed the stream of rebirth and show the way; Mahāvīra is the twenty-fourth. Tathāgata, 'thus gone' or 'thus come', is the title the Buddha uses of himself in the Buddhist scriptures.

Neither term belongs to Hinduism, Sikhism or Judaism, which rules out the other pairs.
