It’s a sad fact that on this great personality there is two books published for his life both are different but by my research I think so that Sabandhu cannot do this so he would have taken the help of Bindusara and announced Chanakya a death sentence but that is also Chanakya at that time too he said that who are you to announce me a death sentence? I wanted my mother land to be free from all the nanda and foreign invaders I have done that so I will now burn myself alive but won’t die from any one else and it was his dream that his mother land should be more beautiful than heaven and for that he has to do anything either from right path or cheating some people said chanakya that you will go to hell but he told yes but before that I want my mother land to be united and beautiful more than heaven. I am an writer who is writing a book on chanakya. Bindusara revered Chanakya and the loss of his advisor was a considerable blow to him. Bindusara went back and vented his fury on Subandhu, and killed him.Ĭhanakya after this incident, renounced food and shortly died thereafter.
CHANDRAGUPTA MAURYA SERIAL CHARACTERS NAME FULL
Bindusara meanwhile heard the full story of his birth from the nurses and rushed to beg forgiveness of Chanakya. He donated all his wealth to the poor, widows and orphans and sat on a dung heap, prepared to die by total abstinence from food and drink. It is said that Chanakya, on hearing that the Emperor was angry with him, thought that anyway he was at the end of his life. Bindusara asked the nurses who confirmed this story and he became very angry with Chanakya. One day he told Bindusara that Chanakya was responsible for the murder of his mother. Bindusara also had a minister named Subandhu who did not like Chanakya. He lived as an ascetic for some years and died of voluntary starvation according to Jain tradition.Ĭhanakya meanwhile stayed as the administrator of Bindusara. When Bindusara became a youth, Chandragupta gave up the throne and followed the Jain saint Bhadrabahu to present day Karnataka and settled in a place known as Shravana Belagola. Bindusara would go on to become a great king and to father the greatest Mauryan Emperor since Chandragupta – Asoka.
A drop (bindu in Sanskrit) of poison had passed to the baby’s head, and hence Chanakya named him Bindusara. Chanakya decided that the baby should not die hence he cut open the belly of the queen and took out the baby. Since she was not used to eating poisoned food, she died. One day the queen, Durdha, shared the food with the Emperor while she was pregnant. The aim of this was to prevent the Emperor from being poisoned by enemies. What has been left is a mixture of conflicting Buddhist and Jaina legends which are rejected by Sinhalese chronicles.Īccording to a legend which is a later jaina invention, while Chanakya served as the chief administrator of Chandragupta Maurya, he started adding small amounts of poison in Chandragupta’s food so that he would get used to it. Later on, Ajivikism which was the official religion of the empire since the Kalinga War (261 BC) and for 14 years afterwards, declined and merged into traditional Hinduism. Bindusara means one who encompasses all that is need to be known. Bindusara was born before his father ever became Emperor so the below legend is definitely not true.Īshoka’s daughter was married in 265 BC and his son Kunala was 18 years of age in 269 BC which means that even the princes married early, Ashoka was born 310 BC and Bindusara around 330 BC. Even Ashoka was practising “Ajivaka” who before accession to throne became Buddhist. Later on, Chandragupta Maurya took Jainism on abdicating his throne which passed to his Son Bindusara who was an “Ajivaka”. Ajivaka practising Chanakya brought about the downfall of the Nandas and their coterie of ministers. There were three non-traditional belief paths in society those days, Jaina, Buddhist and Ajivaka. Chanakya lived to a ripe old age and died around 283 BC and was cremated by his disciple Radhagupta who succeeded Rakshasa Katyayan (great-grand son of Prabuddha Katyayan, who attained Nirvana during the same period as Gautam Budhha) as Prime Minister of the Maurya Empire and was instrumental in backing Ashoka to the throne.
