Bimbisara (c. 558 – c. 491 BC[1][2] or during the late 5th century BC[3]) also known as Seniya or Shrenika in the Jain histories[4][5]was a King of Magadha (r. 543 – 492 BC[6] or c. 400 BC[7]) and belonged to the Haryanka dynasty.[8] He was the son of Bhattiya.[9] His expansion of the kingdom, especially his annexation of the kingdom of Anga to the east, is considered to have laid the foundations for the later expansion of the Maurya Empire.[10]
