Explanation:

Avanti was not directly related to life of Buddha, Pasenadi (Prasenajit), king of Kosala, was the Buddha’s contemporary and is frequently mentioned in Pali texts. Kosala and Magadha were linked through matrimonial ties. Buddha wandered through the towns and villages in the kingdoms of Kosala and Magadha teaching his philosophy. Gandhara is not directly associated with the life of Buddha. It was expansion of Mauryaempire that Gandhara received much Buddhist influence, notably during the reign of Asoka.
