Answer: B
The Jatakas are stories of the Buddha's previous lives (printed 'Budha').
The Jataka tales, part of the Pali Buddhist canon, are more than 500 stories of the Bodhisattva's earlier births, in human and animal forms, each illustrating a virtue such as generosity or patience. Many are carved on the railings of Bharhut and Sanchi.
They are not about Mahavira's life or the saints of Jainism; Jain stories of Mahavira are in texts such as the Kalpasutra. The Buddha, having renounced family life, did not found a line of descendants whose lives the tales could tell.
