(3) From Plutarch: "Androkottos (Chandragupta) himself, who was then but a youth, saw Alexander himself and afterwards used to declare that Alexander could easily have taken possession of the whole country (of 'the Gangaridai and the Prasii' under the Nanda king), since the king was hated and despised by his subjects for the wickedness of his disposition and the meanness of his origin."
