Alexander'southward general Seleucus Nicator is nevertheless in the Bharat, having vassalised Ambhiraj (formerly Ambhikumar in the prequel Porus), the male monarch of Takshashila and besides captured the Paurava Kingdom after assassinating Puru. Chanakya, a Takshashilan Brahmin, scholar and the former prime government minister of the Paurava Kingdom arrives in Magadha ruled by the unjust and cruel Nanda emperor Dhana Nanda. He seeks his help in overthrowing the Macedonians out of India and uniting the Mahajanapadas (Indian kingdoms). Withal, Dhana Nanda openly humiliates Chanakya in the court, mocking his dream of a united India and informs him that information technology was he who financially helped Seleucus assassinate Puru and then that Seleucus volition not attack Magadha. This prompts Chanakya to take a vow of eradicating the Nanda dynasty and putting a capable ruler on the throne of Magadha.

Chanakya finds Chandragupta (nicknamed Chandra), a slave who in reality is the crown prince of Piplivan, a kingdom which was destroyed by Dhana Nanda, and sees in him the talent to become a ruler. Meanwhile Dhana Nanda (unaware of Chandra's lineage), also recognises his aptitude and appoints him every bit the bodyguard of his dear younger sister, Durdhara. Gradually, Durdhara develops a liking for Chandragupta. With the help of the former soldiers of Piplivan and the king of the janapada (Indian kingdom) Assaka, Vajrabahu, Chandra forms a small army. Chandragupta faces Dhana Nanda in a series of encounters and kills his elder brother Govishanka. However, due to the betrayal of Vajrabahu (who later loses both his life and kingdom to Dhana Nanda) he is eventually badly defeated and forced to abscond from Magadha. Before being defeated, Chandra managed to inform Durdhara that her father Mahapadma Nanda was killed past Dhana Nanda every bit he did not want him to separate the Nanda Empire betwixt his viii sons. This totally estranges her from Dhana Nanda. Chandra and Chanakya go far in Takshashila to seek the aid of Seleucus. Withal, Ambhiraj manipulates Seleucus against them and they are thrown into a pit.

5 years after [edit]

To testify to Durdhara that he is a worthy successor to his father, Dhana Nanda conquers xiii Mahajanapadas, and at present turns towards the last remaining janapada, Takshashila, the trickiest of them all. Chandra comes out of the pit, along with Chanakya and other people who had been trapped in the pit earlier, including Purushottam's son Malayketu. Dhana Nanda faces the combined Macedonian and Takshashilan armies in an indecisive battle but eventually a peace treaty is signed co-ordinate to which Dhana Nanda is promised the Paurava Kingdom.

On the other paw, Chandra also faces heavy losses, with Malayketu (who passed on his kingdom to Chandra) beingness killed and Durdhara, who before dying gave birth to Chandra's son and successor, Bindusara after being mistakenly poisoned by her own brother, Dhana Nanda. Before long after, Chandra eventually fulfils Chanakya's vow of eradicating the Nandas post-obit the decease of Dhana Nanda - establishing himself every bit the first emperor of the Maurya Empire. Dhana Nanda'south former prime minister, the Brahmin Rakshasa is spared by Chandra due to the immense knowledge he possesses, and he becomes his prime government minister while Chanakya goes on to stop his treatise Arthashastra.
