Nandas : a dynasty founded c.362 by Mahāpadma who belonged to a rich & very powerful family which with a low origin. It ruled Magadha in northern India between c.343-321 BC when it was overthrown by Chandragupta Maurya c.321 BC.
... tradition does not impute any base origin to the Nandas and thus runs counter to the Brahminical and Jain traditions... The worst infamy which Buddhist tradition records against these Nandas is that they were originally outlaws and robbers." Casting them in such a role, Buddhist tradition, as again Mookerji 2 observes, "represents the Nandas as openly conquering Māgadha by force and not ... tradition in their attempt at a parallel for the Nandas. In the Āvaśyaka Sutra (p. 693), we have a Nanda described as begotten of a barber. Hemachandra's Parisish-taparvan (VI.232) makes him the son of a barber by a courtesan. Struck by the barber-story, our historians forget a central discrepancy. Even in Jain tradition there are nine Nandas and, as in the Purānas, they are a father and eight... circumstance. Nor, we may add, are "the Brahminical and Jain traditions" uniform each in its own voice. While the Purānas label the Nandas as Sudras, the famous Indian drama Mudrā-rākshasa (VI. 6), by which many scholars set considerable store, regards the Nandas as prathita-kulaj ā h, "of illustrious birth", or uchchhaivarvijanam, "of high birth". And even in the Jain Pariśishtaparvan ...
... these numbers make up exactly the 1500 years which are said in some versions - as against 1015, 1050 and 1115 in others -to elapse from Parlkshit's birth to the rise of the Nandas, the dynasty next in time to the Śiśunagas. The Nandas rule for 100 years. As they begin in (3138-1500=) 1638 B.C., the Mauryas' founder Chandragupta mounts the throne in (1638-100=) 1538. With Chandragupta's reign being 24...

For, the first Maurya, who took over the empire of the Nandas, must have ruled over Kaliiiga which was one of the provinces whose Kshatriya dynasties Mahāpadma Nanda had uprooted. 1 The Purānas' attribution of the conquest of Kalihga to Mahāpadma is corroborated... the suzerainty previously held by Magadha". His insight runs: "In order to understand the situation we must consider what the consequences of a triumph of this kind must have been. Under the Nandas and the Mauryas Magadha had established a suzerainty which passed by conquest to the first Çunga king, Pushyamitra, and was solemnly proclaimed by his performance of the 'horse-sacrifice' (açvamedha) ...
... the scanty 100 of the Nandas. The extant Purānas can muster with these numbers no more than 394 years in contrast to Megasthenes's total of 836, consisting of the same Kānvas-Śungas-Nandas duration of 257 plus the differing 159 for the Mauryas plus the 2 republics' 420. The Purānas cannot reach the wanted amount unless we attend to some divergences in them. Thus for the Nandas, instead of Mahāpadma's... each in an attempt to see where the 153 preceding kings would lead us, ending with a figure identifiable with Dionysus. Before Chandragupta Maurya the Purānas name 4 Magadhan dynasties. The Nandas are his immediate predecessors.

With the 9 Nandas, 10 Śiśunagas, 5 Pradyotas and 22 Barhadrathas added, the list of kings after the Bhārata War and before Chandragupta I swells to (54+ 46=) 100.

... destroyer of the Nandas by the name of Kautilya and the Pahchatantra (composed in the Gupta age) mentions Chānakya as an author on the science of polity." However, Goyal 4 also notes: "...most of the Purānas (composed in the present form in the Gupta or post-Gupta period) and the Mudrārākshasa of Viśākhadatta (probably 4th century A.D.) refers to Kautilya as the destroyer of the Nandas without mentioning... some scribe to add a verse at the end of the final Chapter of the Arthaśāstra stating that its author was responsible for the destruction of the Nandas. In the words of Keith," 4 It is the only passage which refers clearly to the defeat of the Nandas and there is no reason to believe that it belongs to the original work. There is already a metrical conclusion.' " 5 Goyal may be declared... 558 5th century 1 ] mentions Chanakka among a list of persons famous for their intellect; here the reference is no doubt to the political skill displayed by Chānakya in uprooting the Nandas. Elsewhere the same text refers to the Kautilīya Arthaśāstra without giving any hint of any connection between Chānakya and Kautilya. The [later secular] Jaina literature [the germs of whose traditions ...
... Brāhmanical traditions regard Kautilīya (alias Chānakya), rather than Chandragupta, as the chief actor in the great drāma which ended in the extermination of the Nandas. The Purānas credit Chānakya with having destroyed the Nandas and anointed Chandragupta as king. The same view is reflected in Kautilīya Arthaśās-tra and other treatises in ancient India. In the drama Mudrārāksh-asa, the figure... tradition 3 makes him at the same time a descendant of the imperial Nanda line and the child of a Śūdra woman. Though the Purānas contain no hint of any kind of birth and merely state that the Nandas were uprooted by the Brāhmana Chānakya who anointed Chandragupta as king, a commentator on the Vishnu Purāna (IV.24, Wilson, IX, 187) brings in Murā as the wife of King Nanda and the mother of C...

Kane, 4 author of the classic History of Dharmaśāstra, though "holding as most modern scholars do that the Nandas flourished in the 4th century B.C.", reached the same conclusion earlier on reviewing the various Purānic texts. The next interval the Purānas give is - to quote the Matsya Purāna (271.39)... Chandragupta Maurya. Whatever we may say, by way of criticism, about fixing the Kaliyuga in 3102 B.C., the Bhārata War in 3138 B.C., the coronation of Mahapādma Nanda in 1638 B.C. or, since the Nandas Purānically reigned 100 years, the beginning of the Mauryas in 1538 B.C, we cannot help being struck by the precision with which this chronology leads us to synchronise Chandragupta I with Sandrocottus ...

Somebody should immediately go to the house of Nanda Mahārāja and tell him that his Śrī Krsna is being dragged by the serpent, Kāliya, within his Page 56 lake." In no time, this news reached Nanda Mahārāja, who became overwhelmed with fear and grief. Indeed, this harsh news struck him like a thunderbolt. With great... great difficulty, he somehow managed to approach the Kāliya lake. Many cowherd men, women, and young boys followed Nanda Mahārāja. Balarāma, the son of Rohinī, also arrived on the shore of the Kāliya lake. Everyone gathered to view the situation. Nanda and the other cowherd inhabitants of Vrndāvana cried profusely.

When nobody was around, Krishna struck the cart with his little legs as soft as tender leaves, and the cart turned over violently and collapsed. When Yashoda and Nanda heard the crashing sound, they rushed out of the house and wondered how the cart had collapsed by itself. Many cowherd men and women gathered at the scene, and the small children who were playing around ...

But I certainly never intended to say that the Ananda was not to be attained or to insist on your moving towards a nir ā nanda [blisslessness] Brahman.
