Two thousand six hundred years ago, the emergence of the Tathagata, the asceticism, the enlightenment, and the introduction of the new religious cycle were among the most important and significant milestones in the history of India. At that time, the three most powerful Aryan states were considered to be the strongest states.They are Magadha, Abanti and Batsya or Koshambi.King Pradyot ruled the Magadha state in the east, King Chandmahasen in the Avanti state in the west, and the young king Udayan in Batsyadesh or Koshambi in the central part.
