Question

When was chandragupta maurya succeeded.

Answer 1

Chandragupta probably abdicated , became an ascetic , accompanied Bhadrabahu to Karnataka and later died by following the ritual of sallekhana, i.e., fasting till death. Chandragupta thus ruled for 24 years and succeeded by his son Bindusara ( 297-c. 273 Bce) , father of Ashoka the Great ( 268 - 232 Bce).
