He is the man of modest origin. He was an orphaned child, raised as the son by another rural family was acknowledged and taught by Chanakya. And he was Chandragupta Maurya!
At the end of his life, he became a Jain Monk.

He was not the crown prince, according to the general agreement in the sources. As a young prince, he was a magnificent commander who crushed revolts in Ujjain and Takshashila. He was the charge of the viceroyship of Ujjain. He was a very aggressive and ambitious sovereign. He became the king after killing his brothers, but the crucial event of his life came when he conquered Kalinga (Kalinga controlled the routes to south India both by land and sea).
