It is not also stated whether *Pūrva*-Nanda was even a prince. We are only told that the second Nanda or *Yoga*-Nanda was a king who succumbed to the *kṛityā* or magical spell practised against his life by Chāṇakya who installed Chandragupta as king in his place. This Nanda is also stated to be a *Śūdra*, and to have his camp at Ayodhyā.
