[20] ".......like one perfectly withdrawn from the world is a real Yogin of the Bhikshu order....."

MAHABHARATHA - UDYOGA PARVA, PAGE 81

Observation:
From the above further indication is given that the Mahabaratha took place after the birth of Buddha. We cannot associate Bikshu order as "Buddha Bikshu." Remember that translations of language change with times. A Bikshu can mean savant, mendicant, sanyasi, or someone who has renounced the world. Also, Buddha, an avatar of God, expounded a philosophy already in vogue but largely forgotten (as did Mahavira).

The brilliance of Buddha is that he institutionalized service (called Uzhavara Padai in Tamil), and philosophy (as did Adi Shankara later). This strategy was also adopted by Tamil Saints Appar and Sambandar.
