(e) Why is Buddha sometimes called Sakya Muni?
Answers
d) In Jainism the three jewels (also referred to as ratnatraya) are understood as samyagdarshana (“right faith”), samyagjnana (“right knowledge”), and samyakcharitra (“right conduct”). One of the three cannot exist exclusive of the others, and all are required for spiritual liberation.

Shakyamuni, (Sanskrit: Sage of the Shakyas) epithet applied to Gautama Buddha. See Buddha; Buddhism.
Answer:
Explanation:
(d)Jainism emphasises that ratnatraya (triple gems of Jainism) — the right faith (Samyak Darshana), right knowledge (Samyak Gyana) and right conduct (Samyak Charitra) — constitutes the path to liberation. These are known as the triple gems (or jewels) of Jainism and hence also known as Ratnatraya
(e)Shakyamuni, (Sanskrit: Sage of the Shakyas) epithet applied to Gautama Buddha.. Siddhartha's caste was the Kshatriya caste (the warrior rulers caste). He belonged to the Sahkya clan and was born in the Gautama family. Because of this, he became to be known as Shakyamuni “sage of the Shakya clan”, which is the most common name used in the Mahayana literature to refer to the Buddha.
