Udayin (r. c. 460-444 BC) was a king of Magadha in present-day India. According to the Buddhist and Jain accounts, he was the son and successor of the Haryanka king Ajatashatru. Udayin laid the foundation of the city of Pataliputra at the confluence of two rivers, the Son and the Ganges. He shifted his capital from Rajgriha to Patliputra due to the latter's central location in the empire.

Ajatashatru transferred his capital from Rajagriha to Pataliputra.
The most powerful king of Northern India, Ajatashatru was the "son of Bimbisara". He was crowned as king of "Haryanka dynasty of Magadha".
He was a true follower of the principles of Mahavira and Buddha. He with his utmost intelligence and will power waged war against many dynasties and kingdom and expanded his territory from Magadha to many more states.
As a mark of his capture, he shifted his capital from "Rajagriha to Pataliputra".
