		For example, Pandit Kota Vankatachela has written a book giving an unbroken sequence of kings of Magadha from the time of the Mahabharata up to the invasion of India by Muhammed Ghori in 1193 A.D.[3] He uses the Puranas and related Sanskrit texts to give dates for the reigns of these kings.
		The table [...] lists the kings and the dates of their reigns, from Jarasandha to the dynasty of Candragupta Maurya.
		For example, note that the dates for the reign of Candragupta Maurya are 1534-1500 B.C. According to the Indologists, Candragupta Maurya was a contemporary of Alexander the Great, who invaded India in 326 B.C. They would reject Vankatachela's list of kings as largely fictitious.
