Question

Which is the best comparison of the basic beliefs of the Aryans and the Mauryans?

Answer 1

Aryans were nomads who settled in India, and embraced the arts and literature and the way of life of Hinduism.

In a later period they came out with Sanskrit and the caste system, and eventually forced the caste system into Hinduism.

Perhaps it can be compared with the Guptas and Mauryans, who had similar social values but their political and religious practices were strikingly different.
