In about two hundred years, Magadha became the most powerful Mahajanapada. Rivers like the Ganga and Son flowed through it which provided water, improved transport and helped make the land fertile. Also, some forested parts of Magadha provided:

Animals like elephants – captured and trained for the army

Wood for building houses, carts, and chariots.

There were some iron ore mines in the region as well which helped in making tools and weapons.

Magadha has a long list of powerful rulers like Bimbisara, Ajatasattu, Mahapadma Nanda, etc. These rulers ensured that they captured the other janapadas and increased the span of their kingdoms. Rajagriha or present-day Rajgir in Bihar was the capital of Magadha for many years. Eventually, Pataliputra or present-day Patna became the capital of Magadha.
