All of the following can be considered reactions to the rigidity of Vedic principles except:
A. 4 Noble Truths
B. Mahabharata
C. Upanishads
D. Jainism
Answer (2)
The Mahabharata does not directly respond to the rigidity of Vedic principles compared to the other listed options, such as Jainism and the 4 Noble Truths, which critique or offer alternatives to those principles. While the Upanishads engage with Vedic concepts, the Mahabharata primarily serves as an epic narrative. Thus, it stands out as not being a direct reaction. ;
The Mahabharata is the only option that does not directly react to the rigidity of Vedic principles, as it primarily serves as a narrative epic rather than a critique. In contrast, the 4 Noble Truths, Upanishads, and Jainism all present alternative philosophical views. Therefore, the correct answer is the Mahabharata .
