CHANDRAGUPTA and ASHOKA (part-2)

Hi amigos,                                                                                                                                                                         Me back wit part 2 . Well part 2 z nt lengthy this z a small story of chandragupta nd ashoka. chandragupta's son bindusara had 2 sons ashoka nd susima. Ashoka was very much inspired by his grandfather nd followed him everywhere. The day ashoka's father bindusara was crowned as king ashoka saw his grandfather walking through the holy sindhu river holding his mighty sword  which might have took hundreds of lives.                                                                                               Confused little Ashoka went near his grandfather nd asked him the reason for his behaviour . Then chandraguptha told Ashoka tht it might b a mighty sword for him bt for chandragupta its just a piece ofcopper metal. He also told Ashoka tht he never wanted ashoka or his father 2 kill enemies bcoz  none of them knw better than him abt killing a human. Bowing his head in sorrow he had thrown the sword into the river nd told ashoka never to go aft the sword bcoz it knws only to take lives.                                                                                                                                                  Aft chandragupta  went away little ashoka caught the sword nd hid tht under a rock.  When bindusara crowded susima as the king then he took the sword for fighting aganist his people nd every one bt aft kalinga war Ashoka realised his grandfather's intensions nd had threw the sword into sindhu river standing in sme situation as his grandfather nd in sme position as his grandfather.                                                                                                                                                                                  Well may be directly or indirectly all the members of the family  of chandragupta had followed his intensions. His son bindusara was called as   AJATHASETRU (man wit no enemies).His grandson Ashoka was known for spreading buddhism. His gr8 grandson Mahindra (son of ashoka) was known for spreading nd preaching abt peace nd divinity all around the world.                                                                                                                                                                    As i told uin part-1 tht chandragupta died at the age of 42 bt i didnt tell u hw. He died following a jain custom . Well in tht custom u must tie ur  mouth  wit a white cloth nd ur kept in starvation until god cals u i.e death. Holy saints or people who think they hav acheived evry thing perform this ritual bt god knws why chandragupta felt  tht he hav 2 perform theritual when he z just 42??????????????????????
