Correct Answer - Option 1 : Buddhist

Tripitaka or Three Baskets is a traditional term used for various Buddhist scriptures.

  • It is known as pali Canon in English.
  • The three pitakas are Sutta Pitaka, Vinaya Pitaka and Abhidhamma Pitaka.
    • Vinay Pitaka consists of rules of monastic discipline for monks.
    • Sutta Pitaka is the collection of Buddha’s sermons.
    • Abhidhamma Pitaka is the philosophy of Buddha’s teachings.

Thus, we can say that the scripture ‘Tripitaka’ belongs to Buddhism.

 Jain Literature:

  • The sacred literature of the Svetambaras is written in a type of Prakrit called Ardhamagadhi Prakrit.
  • The important Jain texts are (i) Kalpasutra (in Sanskrit)–Bhadrabahu, (ii) Bhadrabahu Charita, (iii) Parishishta Parvan (an appendix of Trishashthi-shalaka Purush)–Hemchandra.
