Which tales are related with the paintings and sculptures of the Ajanta caves?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. Jataka TalesD. जातक कथाएँ
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Jataka Tales.
According to the source, the paintings in the Ajanta Caves predominantly narrate the Jataka Tales.
The book describes the Jataka Tales as Buddhist legends relating to the previous births of the Buddha.
It further states that these fables contain ancient morals and cultural lore that are also found in fables and legends of Hindu and Jain texts.
Therefore the complete source-supported revision chain is: Ajanta Cave Paintings — predominantly Jataka Tales — Buddhist Legends — previous births of the Buddha — ancient morals and cultural lore — parallels also found in Hindu and Jain fables and legends according to source.
Hitopadesha, Panchatantra and Pentamerone Tales are distractors.
The question mentions both paintings and sculptures, while the explanation specifically discusses the paintings; the printed answer Jataka Tales has therefore been preserved without expanding beyond what the source explicitly supports.
The source does not provide cave numbers, dates, patrons or individual Jataka scenes in this entry.
Quick revision: Ajanta → Jataka Tales → Previous Births of Buddha.
Therefore option (d) is correct.
सही उत्तर Jataka Tales है। स्रोत के अनुसार Ajanta Caves की paintings मुख्य रूप से Jataka Tales का narration करती हैं। Book Jataka Tales को Buddhist legends बताती है जो Buddha के previous births का वर्णन करती हैं। Source आगे कहती है कि इन fables में ancient morals और cultural lore मौजूद हैं और इनके समान elements Hindu तथा Jain texts की fables और legends में भी मिलते हैं। इसलिए complete source-supported revision chain है: Ajanta Paintings — Jataka Tales — Buddhist Legends — Buddha के Previous Births — Ancient Morals — Cultural Lore। Hitopadesha, Panchatantra और Pentamerone distractors हैं। Question paintings और sculptures दोनों कहता है, जबकि source explanation specifically paintings discuss करती है। इसलिए printed answer Jataka Tales को preserve किया गया है और unsupported expansion नहीं किया गया। Source individual cave numbers, dates, patrons या specific Jataka scenes की details इस entry में नहीं देती। Quick revision: Ajanta → Jataka Tales → Buddha के Previous Births। इसलिए विकल्प (d) सही उत्तर है।
