Origin of Nanda

The article describes nanda as illegitimate son of previous dynasty as conclusive.But this is only one of the many theories on nanda origin.Holywarrior 05:24, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Meaning of sentence?

What is the meaning of the second part of this sentence:"The treasury was continually replenished, the wealth of the Nandas being well-known." Was the treasury continually replenished, because the wealth of the Nadas was well-known or is the treasury continually replenished so that the wealth of the Nadas became well-known or something else?

battle of wits?

What is meant by this sentence:"Chanakya dethroned Dhana Nanda in a battle of wits and replaced him with Chandragupta Maurya, a young adventurer."?

Battle of wits??? Is it possible to dethrone someone with wits alone? That would be the first in history. Be more specific please.

wereldburger, be more patient and lenient. im sure the person who set this article up isnt a native english speaker, since there's plenty of grammatical and syntax errors in the article. 4.230.183.242 04:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I cannot speak for wereldburger, but I don't think he was impugning the editors status as a "native english speaker." Rather, its the ahistoricity of such a claim which he may be alluding to. Statements about "dethroning" through a "battle of wits" imply, in my mind, an edit informed by cultural tradition/mythology rather than an attested contemporaneous account or atleast an opinion of a relevant historical force. --Gñāna (talk) 17:24, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

wereldburger, I think the author used the word with the meaning "to make full or complete again, as by supplying what is lacking, used up, etc".#### —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayuresh Bhagwat (talk • contribs) 14:55, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

No. The book is 90 years out of date and was written by a religious scholar, not a historian. The age of the book is probably the most important thing, but the expertise of the author alone would be enough to say no. Doug Weller (talk) 11:52, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

You are having some serious issues understanding the basic principles of WP:RS and it's a little troublesome. Also, please sign your posts. Ogress 19:20, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

I was informed about that scholarly sources are reliable. This is what I read in the guidelines as well. Going a step ahead, I am verifying the reliability of author too by checking if there's a Wikipedia page of author stating that he is a scholar. I have not added these sources to conflicting articles since i preampted reactions from admin. Thats why confirming the reliability in talk page first. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · count) 19:32, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Dubious dating

And in the fifth year, (His Majesty) caused the aqueducts that had been excavated by king Nanda three hundred years before, to flow into [Kalinga] Nagri through Tanasuli.

Hathigumpha inscription

that would make the date 450 BC for nanda dynasty using the inscription date. 202.188.53.130 (talk) 04:39, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

The date of the Hathigumpha inscription itself is uncertain. And moreover, as this article states (with a source), the expression "ti-vasa-sata" has been variously interpreted as "three hundred" or "one hundred and three". utcursch | talk 06:16, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Kharari's changes

Utcursch I twice remove your edits because you written the father of girl who love chandragupt so you wrote Nanda but I also read some text of hemchandra ji in which name of girl father is written and it's not matching with your name that's it and you are trying indirectly to show shudra as lower caste but in any hinduism text not mention your opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kharari (talk • contribs) 09:51, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

@Utcursch: I'm not sure how to explain to this editor how we work. Doug Weller talk 15:31, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

@Kharari: Your sentences are not very clear, but from what I can infer you're trying to say that according to Hemachandra's Parishishta-parvan, the woman who fell in love with Chandragupta was not the daughter of the last Nanda king. The source cited in the article (Radha Kumud Mookerji's book) doesn't support your assertion. Do you have a reliable source that can be verified by others? Also, what is the name of the woman's father according to your source?

As for the Shudras have a low social rank, that's not my opinion: that's what the cited sources (including the ones cited in the lead of the article Shudra) state. If you have a source that disagrees with these cited sources, maybe you should discuss this at Talk:Shudra. utcursch | talk 17:37, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Should i edit Article or not?or you do continue remove my edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kharari (talk • contribs) 07:00, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Feel free to make any changes with a reliable source as a citation. Other editors, including me, undo your edits because they are not reliably-sourced. utcursch | talk 12:21, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

I Do changes in paragraph because if chandragupt is son of padma Nanda so how can he will marry with Nanda daughter? Your edit are controversial like ekta kapoor tv serial Chandra nandini base less — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kharari (talk • contribs) 02:06, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Second time I give proper citation and reliable source but you remove my edit so don't talk  about reliable source and citations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kharari (talk • contribs) 01:59, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
