Which of the following was a 'Jain' council held to compile the scriptures?
A. Nalanda Council
B. Vallabhi Council
C. Pataliputra Council
D. Kashmir Council
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The Vallabhi Council (c. 5th century AD) was a Jain council for compiling the Digambara texts, but it is early; however, Jain councils in medieval times were less common. I'll change to a more relevant one: actually, the Valabhi council was early. For medieval, the 'Mathura' council is not. I'll skip.
