46 - Magadha

"That lord of Mahapadma, King Nanda, will rule over the entire earth just like a second Parashurama (6th avatar of Vishnu), and no one will challenge his authority."
-Bhagavata Purana

It doesn't seem like much, but this site in Rajgir has a pretty morbid history behind it! For the background story you've got to listen!

Ooo an episode within a week of a previous episode? Sounds like I've got some time on my hands! This was supposed to be one large one, but instead I'll release this part first, and spend more time getting into the Mauryan Empire and what came after in the next episode. Enjoy!
