Which among the following statements is/ are correct about the Palas ? 1. The Palas were ardent followers of Jainism. 2. The Palas founded the Oddantapuri University from where the missionaries went to Tibet to spread Jainism. Select the correct answer using the code given below :

- Statement 1: The Palas were ardent followers of Buddhism, particularly Mahayana Buddhism, and were great patrons of Buddhist monasteries and universities like Nalanda, Vikramashila, and Odantapuri. They were not primarily followers of Jainism. This statement is false. - Statement 2: The Palas founded the university/monastery at Odantapuri (Uddandapura). However, it was a center of Buddhist learning, not Jainism. Buddhist scholars from Odantapuri and Vikramashila did travel to Tibet, where they played a significant role in spreading Buddhism. This statement is false, as it incorrectly links Odantapuri and the missions to Tibet with Jainism.
