ABSTRACT
We have in the last chapter confined our remarks to the main story of the central political power in India. We have seen that from the time of Sisunâga, in the seventh century B.c., the supreme power in India was held by the kings of Magadha. We have seen that after the destruction of several dynasties, the supreme power passed away to the hands of the Andhras, who held it from the first century B.c. to the fifth century A.d.
