Question

Correct Answer: 3 and 4 only. Buddha during his period travelled across many places across Northeastern and Central part of India to teach people. During his preaching period, he covered 8 kingdoms such as Sakka, Kosala, Vajji, Angga, Magatha, Kasi, Vangsa and Avanti. Since Avanti was not directly associated with life of Buddha, so this statement is incorrect, which eliminates options A and D. Statement 2 which describes Gandhara as kingdom of Buddha is also incorrect as it serves as expansion of Mauryan empire which again was not associated directly with life of Buddha, so this eliminates option A and B. Statement 3 and 4 describing Kosala and Magadha as kingdom of Buddha are correct as king of Kosala results as Buddha’s contemporary. For teachings, Buddha travelled across towns of Kosala and Magadha.
