It may be noted that this story of the Buddhist text has its echo in the Sanskrit work, *Mudrārākshasa*, which mentions king Nanda expelling Chāṇakya publicly from the place of honour assigned to him in his court [*agrāsanatovakṛishṭavaśaṁ* (I. 11)], whereupon Chāṇakya vowed that he would avenge himself on Nanda by encompassing the destruction of his whole family and progeny.
