Detailed Solution

Lord Mahavira preached in Prakrit.
Since Prakrit, which was the language of the common people, was used, Mahavira and his teachings were accessible to the masses. Prakrit was used so that more and more people could understand the message of Mahavira and follow his path. Prakrit had a number of dialects that were specific to different regions of the country and were named based on that. For instance, Magadhi was the name of the Prakrit dialect spoken in Magadha.
