Solution :
In foreign Greek and Latin accounts, Chandragupta is known as Sand ricottas and Androcottus. He became well known in the Hellenistic world for conquering Alexander the Great's easternmost satrapies, and for defeating the most powerful of Alexander's successors, Seleucus I Nicator, in battle. Bindusara Maurya (c. 320 BC - 272 BC) was emperor of the Maurya Empire from 298 BC - 272 BC. During his reign, the empire expanded southwards. The Greeks called him Amitrochates or All itrochades the Greek transliteration for the Sanskrit word 'Amitraghata? (Slayer of enemies). In the third century B.C., King Ashoka of die Mamya dynasty supported and protected Buddhism and erected stupas and stone pillars at sites associated with Shakyamuni Buddha. Dasaratha is known to have dedicated three caves in the Nagarjuni Hills to the Ajivikas. Three inscriptions at the cave refer to Mm as 'Devanampiya Dasaratha? Megasthenes described the seven classes that he found in the Indian society: sophists, farmers, herdsmen, artisans and shopkeepers, overseers and the deliberators. He described the sophists to be the grandest in reputation and helping in sacrifices. The farmers, according to him, were numerous and paid taxes to the king. The herdsmen pastured sheep and cattle and did not reside in the cities or villages, and were nomads. The artisans and shopkeepers performed public duties and paid taxes. The soldiers were devoted to military events. The over-seers gad the responsibility to supervise events and activities happening in the country and to report them to the king. The seventh class constituted those who discussed public affairs with the king, and Megasthenes described, it was from this class that die rulers, treasures and admirals were selected.
