Add some Greek historian references also

Pliny quotes Megasthenes giving even larger figures of 600,000 infantry, 30,000 cavalry, and 9,000 war elephants:

"But the Prasii [the inhabitants of Magadha, of whom Sandracottos was king ] surpass in power and glory every other people, not only in this quarter, but one may say in all India, their capital Palibothra, a very large and wealthy city, after which some call the people itself the Palibothri,--nay even the whole tract along the Ganges. Their king has in his pay a standing army of 600,000 foot-soldiers, 30,000 cavalry, and 9,000 elephants: whence may be formed some conjecture as to the vastness of his resources." Megasthenes, quoted in Pliny.

Seleucus and Chandragupta ultimately reached a settlement, and through a treaty sealed in 305 BC, Seleucus ceded the country around the river Indus, according to Strabo:

"The Indians occupy [in part] some of the countries situated along the Indus, which formerly belonged to the Persians: Alexander deprived the Ariani of them, and established there settlements of his own. But Seleucus Nicator gave them to Sandrocottus in consequence of a marriage contract, and received in return five hundred elephants." Strabo 15.2.1(9)

Strabo further explains that a large part of Ariana, west of the Indus, was given by the Macedonians to the Indians:

"When Alexander invaded the country (...) the Indus River was the boundary between India and Ariana, which was situated next to India on the west and was in the possession of the Persians at that time; for later the Indians also held much of Ariana, having received it from the Macedonians." Strabo 15.10

Mainstream scholarship asserts that Chandragupta received territory west of the Indus including southern Afghanistan and parts of Persia. Archaeologically, concrete indications of Mauryan rule, such as the inscriptions of the Edicts of Ashoka, are known as far as Kandhahar, in today's southern Afghanistan.

In exchange for this territory, Seleucus obtained five hundred war elephants, a military asset which would play a decisive role at the Battle of Ipsus in 301 BC. A matrimonial alliance was also agreed upon (called Epigamia in ancient sources, meaning either the recognition of marriage between Indians and Greeks, or a dynastic alliance):

"He (Seleucus) crossed the Indus and waged war with Sandrocottus [Maurya], king of the Indians, who dwelt on the banks of that stream, until they came to an understanding with each other and contracted a marriage relationship." Appian, History of Rome, The Syrian Wars 55

"After having made a treaty with him (Sandrakotos) and put in order the Orient situation, Seleucos went to war against Antigonus." Justin XV.4.15

In addition to this treaty, Seleucus dispatched an ambassador, Megasthenes, to Chandragupta, and later Deimakos to his son Bindusara, at the Mauryan court at Pataliputra (Modern Patna in Bihar state). Later Ptolemy II Philadelphus, the ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt and contemporary of Ashoka, is also recorded by Pliny the Elder as having sent an ambassador named Dionysius to the Mauryan court.

Classical sources have also recorded that following their treaty, Chandragupta and Seleucus exchanged presents, such as when Chandragupta sent various aphrodisiacs to Seleucus:

"And Theophrastus says that some contrivances are of wondrous efficacy in such matters [as to make people more amorous]. And Phylarchus confirms him, by reference to some of the presents which Sandrakottus, the king of the Indians, sent to Seleucus; which were to act like charms in producing a wonderful degree of affection, while some, on the contrary, were to banish love" Athenaeus of Naucratis, "The deipnosophists" Book I, chapter 32

Reconquest Northwest

Chandragupta turned his attention to Northwestern India (modern Pakistan), where he fought the satrapies (described as "prefects" in classical Western sources) left in place by Alexander (Justin), and assassinated two of his governors, Nicanor and Philip. The satrapies he fought may have included Eudemus, ruler in western Punjab until his departure in 317 BCE; Peithon, son of Agenor, ruler of the Greek colonies along the Indus until his departure for Babylon in 316 BCE. The Roman historian Justin described how Sandrocottus (Greek version of Chandragupta's name) conquered the northwest:

"India, after the death of Alexander, had assassinated his prefects, as if shaking the burden of servitude. The author of this liberation was Sandracottos, but he had transformed liberation in servitude after victory, since, after taking the throne, he himself oppressed the very people he has liberated from foreign domination."

— Junianus Justinus, Histoires Philippiques Liber, XV.4.12-13

"He was of humble origin, but was pushing to acquiring the throne by the superior power of the mind. When after having offensed the king of Nanda by his insolence, he was condemned to death by the king, he was saved by the speed of his own feet"

— Junianus Justinus, Histoires Philippiques Liber, XV.4.15

"Later, as he was preparing war against the prefects of Alexander, a huge wild elephant went to him and took him on his back as if tame, and he became a remarkable fighter and war leader. Having thus acquired royal power, Sandracottos possessed India at the time Seleucos was preparing future glory."

— Junianus Justinus, Histoires Philippiques Liber, XV.4.19

unification

The shrewd Chanakya had trained Chandragupta under his expert guidance and together they planned the destruction of Dhana Nanda. Chandragupta then raised an army in the Northwest, assassinated the Macedonian prefects and destroyed their garrisons. Having consolidated power their, he pushed east. The Mudrarakshasa of Visakhadutta as well as the Jaina work Parisishtaparvan talk of Chandragupta's alliance with the Himalayan king Parvatka, sometimes identified with Porus. This Himalayan alliance gave Chandragupta a composite and powerful army made up of Yavanas (Greeks), Kambojas, Shakas (Scythians), Kiratas, Parasikas and Bahlikas (Bactrians):

"Kusumapura was besieged from every direction by the forces of Parvata and Chandragupta: Shakas, Yavanas, Kiratas, Kambojas, Parasikas, Bahlikas and others, assembled on the advice of Canakya."

— Visakhadutta, Mudrarakshasa 2

However, some of the tribes named in the Mudrarakshasa, such as the Shakas and Hunas, appear in India much later than the time of Chandragupta Maurya, which makes it unclear which of these peoples were present in his army. Nevertheless, with these frontier martial tribes under his command, Chandragupta fought Dhana Nanda and his general Bhadrasala in a series of battles, ending with the siege of the capital city Kusumapura and the conquest of the Nanda Empire around 321 BC, by the time he was about 20 years old.

Seleucus I Nicator, a Macedonian satrap of Alexander, reconquered most of Alexander's former empire and put under his own authority eastern territories as far as Bactria and the Indus (Appian, History of Rome, The Syrian Wars 55), until in 305 BCE he entered in a confrontation with Chandragupta:

"Always lying in wait for the neighboring nations, strong in arms and persuasive in council, he [Seleucus] acquired Mesopotamia, Armenia, 'Seleucid' Cappadocia, Persis, Parthia, Bactria, Arabia, Tapouria, Sogdia, Arachosia, Hyrcania, and other adjacent peoples that had been subdued by Alexander, as far as the river Indus, so that the boundaries of his empire were the most extensive in Asia after that of Alexander. The whole region from Phrygia to the Indus was subject to Seleucus."

— Appian, History of Rome, The Syrian Wars 55

Seleucus and Chandragupta ultimately reached a settlement, and through a treaty sealed in 305 BC, Seleucus ceded the country around the river Indus, according to Strabo:

"The Indians occupy [in part] some of the countries situated along the Indus, which formerly belonged to the Persians: Alexander deprived the Ariani of them, and established there settlements of his own. But Seleucus Nicator gave them to Sandrocottus in consequence of a marriage contract, and received in return five hundred elephants."

— Strabo, Geographica, 15.2.1(9)

Strabo further explains that a large part of Ariana, west of the Indus, was given by the Macedonians to the Indians:

"When Alexander invaded the country (...) the Indus River was the boundary between India and Ariana, which was situated next to India on the west and was in the possession of the Persians at that time; for later the Indians also held much of Ariana, having received it from the Macedonians."

— Strabo, Geographica, 15.10

Mainstream scholarship asserts that Chandragupta received territory west of the Indus, including the Hindu Kush, modern day Afghanistan, and the Balochistan province of Persia. Archaeologically, concrete indications of Mauryan rule, such as the inscriptions of the Edicts of Ashoka, are known as far as Kandhahar in southern Afghanistan.

In exchange for this territory, Seleucus obtained five hundred war elephants, a military asset which would play a decisive role at the Battle of Ipsus in 301 BC. A matrimonial alliance was also agreed upon (called Epigamia in ancient sources, meaning either the recognition of marriage between Indians and Greeks, or a dynastic alliance):

"He (Seleucus) crossed the Indus and waged war with Sandrocottus [Maurya], king of the Indians, who dwelt on the banks of that stream, until they came to an understanding with each other and contracted a marriage relationship."

— Appian, History of Rome, The Syrian Wars 55

"After having made a treaty with him (Sandrakotos) and put in order the Orient situation, Seleucos went to war against Antigonus."

—Junianus Justinus, Histoires Philippiques Liber, XV.4.15

As there are no records of an Indian princess in the abundant classical literature on the Seleucids, it is generally thought that the alliance went the other way around, and that a Seleucid princess may have been bethrothed to the Maurya Dynasty. In addition to this treaty, Seleucus dispatched an ambassador, Megasthenes, to Chandragupta, and later Deimakos to his son Bindusara, at the Mauryan court at Pataliputra (Modern Patna in Bihar state). Later Ptolemy II Philadelphus, the ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt and contemporary of Ashoka the Great, is also recorded by Pliny the Elder as having sent an ambassador named Dionysius to the Mauryan court.

Classical sources have also recorded that following their treaty, Chandragupta and Seleucus exchanged presents, such as when Chandragupta sent various aphrodisiacs to Seleucus:

"And Theophrastus says that some contrivances are of wondrous efficacy in such matters [as to make people more amorous]. And Phylarchus confirms him, by reference to some of the presents which Sandrakottus, the king of the Indians, sent to Seleucus; which were to act like charms in producing a wonderful degree of affection, while some, on the contrary, were to banish love."

Plutarch reports that he met with Alexander the Great, probably around Taxila in the northwest, and that he viewed the ruling Nanda dynasty in a very negative light:

"Androcottus, when he was a stripling, saw Alexander himself, and we are told that he often said in later times that Alexander narrowly missed making himself master of the country, since its king was hated and despised on account of his baseness and low birth."

— Plutarch, Parallel Lives, The Life of Alexander the Great 62-63

Trivia=

• In the 4th century AD, Sanskrit author Vishakhadatta penned a seven-act play on Chandragupta's life, called Mudrarakshasa (Sanskrit: Signet Ring of the Rakshasa, the chief minister of the last Nanda king).
• In 2001, the Indian Postal Department issued a Rs. 4 stamp commemorating the rule of Chandragupta.
• A myth says, that after not being able to seize control in his first attempt, Chandragupta roamed the wilderness of India. Here, he watched through a window, a mother and a child. The child kept burning his hand while trying to eat a roti. The mother scolded the child and told him to eat from the edges, not the centre, because the centre will always be hotter. Chandragupta realized that the Nanda Empire could be considered as that roti. This caused him to change his tactics for seizing power. There is a similar myth in which the roti is replaced by khichdi.
• On the Nickelodeon game show Legends of the Hidden Temple, one of the artifacts was the "Lion-Headed Bracelet of Chandragupta."

बदलाव हेतु

लेख मे जहां अशोक और उनके भाइयो के विषय मे जानकारी है वो काफी हद तक मूल विचार जैसा है , उसको इसके साथ अपडेट करे :

ऐसा कहा जाता है की अशोक को सिंहासन सहजता से नहीं प्राप्त हुआ बल्कि अपने भाइयों से संघर्ष करना पड़ा। दीपवंश के अनुसार, यह कहा गया है कि अशोक ने 100 भाइयों को मार डाला। महावंश में लिखा है कि अशोक ने 99 भाइयों की हत्या की। तिब्बती बौद्ध परंपरा में, तारानाथ की 'भारत में बौद्ध धर्म का इतिहास' में कहा गया है कि अशोक ने 6 भाइयों की हत्या की। बौद्ध कथा अशोकावदान में केवल एक भाई, सुसीम की हत्या का उल्लेख है, अन्य भाइयों के मारे जाने का कोई संदर्भ नहीं है। ये विविधताएँ उन विसंगतियों और अनिश्चितताओं को उजागर करती हैं जो सांप्रदायिक बौद्ध ग्रंथों द्वारा ऐतिहासिक घटनाओं की व्याख्या करने में उत्पन्न हुई हैं। अशोक का 5वां प्रमुख शिलालेख ऐसे साक्ष्य प्रदान करता है जो अशोक के भाइयों के भाग्य के बारे में बौद्ध ग्रंथों में पाए गए विवरणों का खंडन करता है, जो बताता है कि अशोक के कई भाई जीवित थे और साम्राज्य में अधिकारीक पदों पर थे। 103.110.48.125 (वार्ता) 05:48, 15 जुलाई 2024 (UTC)
