Chandragupta Maurya and His Times c6.31

c6.31

There is not much evidence available as regards the provinces of the Empire under Chandragupta Maurya. But we have some evidence for the time of his grandson, Asoka, by whom the institutions of his predecessors were continued except where they were reformed, or in the case of innovations which Asoka himself specifies in his inscriptions. None of the provinces indicated in his inscriptions is claimed by Asoka to be his own creation.
