c8.s3.145

"The son of Mahânanda will be born of a woman of the Śûdra-class; his name will be Nanda, called Mahâpadma, for he will be exceedingly avaricious. Like another Paraśu-râma, he will be the annihilator of the Kshatriya race, for after him the kings of the earth will be Śûdras. He will bring the whole earth under one umbrella, he will have eight sons, Sumâlya, and others, who will reign after Mahâpadma; and he and his sons will govern for a hundred years. The Brahman Kauṭilya will root out the nine Nandas.
