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).
