The names of Chandragupta and his two successors in the Mauryan period are well known now. But reconstructing their lives and careers was a laborious and difficult process for the earlier historians.
There are hardly any comprehensive contemporary accounts or literary works which refer to the Mauryan emperors though they are mentioned in various Buddhist and Jain texts as well as in some Hindu works like the brahmanas.
The Mahavamsa, the comprehensive historical chronicle in Pali from Sri Lanka, is an important additional source.

Contemporary accounts by Greek historians show that Chandragupta was a youth living in Taxila when Alexander invaded India.
Greek historians have recorded his name as “Sandrakottus” or “Sandrakoptus”, which are evidently modified forms of Chandragupta
#The Mahavamsa, the comprehensive historical chronicle in Pali from Sri Lanka, is an important additional source.
#By virtue of its remarkable stone sculpture and hundreds of ancient stone inscriptions, Kanaganahalli instantly took its place among the most celebrated early Buddhist sites in India.
#Shakas – Kushanas introduced better cavalry & use of riding horses on large scale along with use of turban, tunic, trousers & longcoats.
