Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: Bhadrabahu / भद्रबाहु Brief explanation: The Kalpasutra is a Jain text traditionally attributed to the Jain monk Bhadrabahu. It records the lives of the Tirthankaras, especially Mahavira, and includes rules and stories related to monastic practice. Clarification on the other names: Katyayan: An ancient Sanskrit grammarian, not the author of the Jain Kalpasutra.
Buddhaghosha: A Theravada Buddhist commentator, known for works like the Visuddhimagga; not connected to the Jain Kalpasutra.
Nagsen (Nagasena): A Buddhist monk associated with the Milinda Pañha, not the author of the Jain Kalpasutra.
