Chandragupta Maurya was succeeded by his son Bindusara.
Bindusara, known to the Greeks as Amitrochates (derived from
the Sanskrit word Amitraghata i.e. slayers of foes) ,is said to have carried
his aims to the Deccan (upto Mysore).
Bindusara asked Antiochus I of Syria to send some sweet wine, dried figs and a
sophist .
Antiochus I sent win e and
figs but politely replied that Greek philosophers are not for sale.
Bindusara patronized Ajivikas.
