A kingdom of ancient NE India, roughly
corresponding to the middle and southern
parts of modern Bihar. It was the scene of
many incidents in the life of Buddha and was
the seat of the Maurya dynasty, founded by
Chandragupta in the 3rd century BC. Its
capital Pataliputra was a great cultural and
political centre.
