	Re: The dating of Chandragupta Maurya
		The ten kings of Shishunaga dynasty ruled for 360 years, beginning from 1994 B.C. and ending with 1634 B.C. I could see the figure 360 years mentioned in Bhagwatam, but where is it written that Sisunaga dynasty began in 1994 BC?
		Yesternight I was going through Bhagwatam to find out when, according to Puranas, Chandragupta became king.
		So, Chandragupta became king in 1574 - 100 = 1474 BC.
