(8) scial y en 247*3149 2417'Suly Political History of Ancient IndiamAM zrI hemacaMdra rAyacaudharI kahe che - An account of the Kalinga war and its effects is given in Rock Edict XIII. We have already seen that Kaling formed a part of the Magadhan dominions in the time of the Nandas. Why was it necessary for Ashoka to reconquer it.? The question admits of only one answer, viz., that Kalinga severed its connection with Magadh after the fall of Nandas. If the story of a general revolt in the time of Bindusara be correct then it is not unlikely that Kalinga, like Taxila, threw off the allegiance of Magadha during the reign of Bindusara. It appears, however, from Pliny who probably based his account on the Indica of Megasthenes, that Kalinga was already an independent Kingdom in the time of Chandragupta. In that case there can be no question of a revolt in the time of Bindusara.
