Answer:

Chandragupta Maurya (reign: 321–297 BCE) was the founder of the Maurya Empire in ancient India. Born to a humble background, he was taught and counselled by the philosopher Chanakya, who had great influence in the formation of his empire. Together, Chandragupta and Chanakya built one of the largest empires on the Indian subcontinent. According to Jain sources, he later renounced his empire and became a Jain monk. Chandragupta's life and accomplishments are described in ancient Greek, Hindu, Buddhist and Jain texts, but they vary significantly. In Greek and Latin accounts, Chandragupta is referred to as Sandrokottos or Androcottus.

Chandragupta Maurya was a pivotal figure in the history of India. Prior to his consolidation of power, Alexander the Great had invaded the northwest Indian subcontinent before abandoning his campaign in 324 BCE and left a legacy of several Indo-Greek kingdoms in northwest ancient India. Chandragupta created a new empire, applied the principles of statecraft, built a large army and continued expanding the boundaries of his empire. Greek rulers avoided war with him; one of them, Seleucus I Nicator, entered into a marriage alliance instead, and retreated into Persia. Chandragupta's empire extended from Bengal to most of the Indian subcontinent except for the regions that are now Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Odisha.

Chandragupta's reign, as well the dynasty that followed him, was an era of economic prosperity, reforms, and infrastructure expansion. Many religions thrived in India within his and his descendants' empire; Buddhism, Jainism and Ajivika gained prominence along with the Vedic traditions. A memorial to Chandragupta Maurya exists on the Chandragiri hill along with a 7th-century hagiographic inscription.

Chandragupta Maurya was the founder of the Mauryan empire. Born around 340 BCE, Chandragupta was the youngest of the Mauryas, who ruled from their capital in Pataliputra. Even as a child, he was an exceptional hunter and rider. During this time, most of northern India was part of the Magadha Empire, ruled by the Nandas. Southern India was divided into many independent territories.What brought the Indian subcontinent under a single unified kingdom was Chandragupta Maurya’s reign, which lasted from 322 BCE to 298 BCE. The Mauryan dynasty would go on to have notable emperors, including Chandragupta’s son Bindusara and grandson, Emperor Ashoka.

Chandragupta’s chief advisor was a master strategist, Chanakya. With Chandragupta’s valour and Chanakya’s wisdom, they amassed a small but formidable army. After defeating the Nanda army and including their territory in his own empire, there was no stopping Chandragupta Maurya. He went on to defeat the Greek generals in Alexander’s army, and later the Macedonians. His conquests led him to establish the largest empire in the Indian subcontinent at the time.

In a bid to advance friendly relations and to improve trade with kingdoms across the seas, he married the daughter of Seleucus. This proved to be a beneficial alliance because Seleucus ended up surrendering a significant amount of territory to him. Though not much is known about Chandragupta Maurya’s family tree, a woman named Durdhara is believed to be his wife and the mother of his successor, Bindusara.

There are several legends that surround the life and times of Chandragupta Maurya. A popular legend states that Chanakya was always in fear of Chandragupta getting poisoned. So, to inoculate him against these poisons, Chanakya would add small doses of poison in his food. Chandragupta Maurya bequeathed his throne to his son in 298 BCE. Some believe he converted to Jainism and lived life as an ascetic until his death.
