Explanation:

Chandragupta Maurya was the first emperor who brought together the small fragmented kongdoms of the country and combined them into a single large empire. Chandragupta Maurya (reign: c. 321 – c. 297 BCE) was the founder of the Maurya Empire in ancient India. He built one of the largest-ever empires on the Indian subcontinent and then, according to Jain sources, he renounced it all and became a Jain monk. Historical Jain texts claim Chandragupta followed Jainism by first renouncing his wealth and power, going away with Jain monk Acharya Bhadrabahu, and performing a ritual of peacefully welcoming death by fasting.
