Answer 2

Answer:

Chandragupta seems to have usurped the Magadhan throne, overthrowing the Nandas, in 321 bc (324, 323 and 320 bc have also been suggested by some scholars). Some identify ‘Mauryas’ with the Morieis tribe mentioned by the Greeks.

A Brahmanical text states that Chandragupta was born of ‘Mura’, a shudra woman in the Nanda court (‘Mura’ is also taken to be the mother or grandmother of Chandragupta and the wife of a Nanda king).

Some others represent the Mauryas as kshatriyas-medieval epigraphs represent them as kshatriyas of the solar race-and some Buddhist writers refer to them as the ruling clan of Pipphalivana (situated probably be­tween Rummindei in the Nepalese Terai and Kasai, Gorakhpur district in Buddha’s time).
