Explanation: The sources of the Maurya period are more varied and considered more authentic than the earlier periods.
For the first time now, we have at our disposal several sources (literary sources like Arthashastra of Kautilya, Indica of Megasthenes, and the Junagarh Inscription of Rudradaman I, which attributes to the beginning of construction of a Sudarshana Lake during Chandragupta’s reign), and edicts issued by Ashoka that throw a clearer light on the history of this period.
