पाटलीपुत्रं पुरातनभारतस्य किञ्चन नगरम् आसीत्। एतत् नगरम् अजातशत्रुणा स्थापितम्। तदनन्तरं पाटलीपुत्रं मगधमहाजनपदस्य राजधानी अभवत्। द्वौ बौद्धसङ्घौ अत्रैव अभवताम् । महाराजस्य अशोकस्य शासनकाले पाटलीपुत्रं भूमौ वरिष्ठं नगरम् आसीत्। यवनराजदूत ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Southampton Cenotaph is a First World War memorial in Watts Park in the southern English city of Southampton. The cenotaph was the first memorial of dozens designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens to be built in permanent form and it influenced his later designs, including the Cenotaph on Whitehall in London. It is a tapering, multi-tiered pylon featuring a recumbent figure of a soldier, a prominent cross, the town's coat of arms, and two lion sculptures. In front is an altar-like Stone of Remembrance. Later cenotaphs by Lutyens, although similar in outline, were much more austere and featured almost no sculpture. By the beginning of the 21st century, the engravings on the memorial had deteriorated noticeably. They have been supplemented by a series of glass panels, unveiled in 2011, which bear all the names from the cenotaph, as well as names from the Second World War and later conflicts. The memorial was upgraded in 2015 to a Grade I listed building. (Full article...)

The Gandharvas [or Gandharas], the Sindhus, and the Sauviras fight best with their nails and lances. They are brave and endowed with great strength. Their armies are capable of vanquishing all forces. The Usinaras possess great strength and are skilled in all kinds of weapons. The Easterners are skilled in fighting from the backs of war elephants and are proficient with alternate fighting methods. The Yavanas, the Kamvojas, and those that dwell around Mathura are well skilled in fighting with bare arms. The Southerners are skilled in fighting sword in hand. (12:101)

Territorial evolution of the Mauryan Empire

The approximate extent of the Magadha state in the 5th century BCE. The Maurya Empire when it was first founded by Chandragupta Maurya c. 320 BCE, after conquering the Nanda Empire when he was only about 20 years old. Chandragupta extended the borders of the Maurya Empire towards Seleucid Persia after defeating Seleucus c. 305 BCE. Bindusara extended the borders of the empire southward into the Deccan Plateau c. 300 BCE. Ashoka extended into Kalinga during the Kalinga War c. 265 BCE, and established superiority over the southern kingdoms.
