UPPCS 2021 Pre

Which one of the following pairs is NOT correctly matched? (Tirthankar) (Nirvan Place) (a) Rishabhanath Ashtapad (b) Vasupujya Sammedshikhar (c) Neminath Urjayanta (d) Mahavira Pavapuri

Verified Answer
A. Rishabhanath - Ashtapad
B. Vasupujya - Sammedshikhar
C. Neminath - Urjayanta
D. Mahavira - Pavapuri

Explanation:

Rishabhanath attained nirvana at Ashtapad (Mount Kailash). Neminath attained nirvana at Urjayanta (Mount Girnar). Mahavira attained nirvana at Pavapuri. However, Vasupujya attained nirvana at Champapuri, not Sammedshikhar. Sammedshikhar is a pilgrimage site where many Tirthankaras attained moksha, but Vasupujya is not among them. Therefore, the pair 'Vasupujya - Sammedshikhar' is not correctly matched.
