KBC 2021: Tales about whose previous lives, in both human and animal form are called Jatakas?

Vardhamana Mahavira

Gautama Buddha

Zoroaster

Maimonides

Answer: Gautama Buddha

The Jataka tales are a voluminous body of literature native to India concerning the previous births of Gautama Buddha in both human and animal form.

The future Buddha may appear as a king, an outcast, a god, an elephant—but, in whatever form, he exhibits some virtue that the tale thereby inculcates.
