Brahmins and Kshatriyas, who were the two dominated Varnas at that time, competed for supremacy. Kshatriyas were the rulers who disliked the domination of the Brhamin priests. Both Gautam Buddha and Mahavira Jain challenged the hegemony of Brahmins.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Both Gautam Buddha and Mahavira Jain challenged the hegemony of Brahmins. Moreover, the importance of Vaishyas grew as the importance of trade increased.

The Vaishyas were placed at third position after the Brahmins and Kshatriyas. And they looked for new religions to advance their status and position in the society. That’s why they gave support to both Jainism and Buddhism.
