v2.c39.s3.2
help of Cāṇakya extended his dominion from the eastern to the western ocean... During the reign of this king a monastery called Kusumālaṅkāra was built at Kusumapura. In this monastery lived Ācārya Mātrceta, who spread both Hinayāna and Mahāyāna. About this time Bindusāra's brother's son king Śricandra erected a temple of Avalokiteśvara and maintained 2000 monks of the Mahāyāna school. Tāranātha, it seems, had made some confusion of the name of Bindusāra with that of a later king.
