Detailed Solution

The provincial capital of the Magadha Kingdom was Rajgriha. The capital was later relocated to Patliputra. Both Rajgriha and Pataliputra are now part of the state of Bihar. The Magadha Kingdom produced Bimbisara, the first notable monarch of the Magadha Kingdom. He lived during the same period as Gautama Buddha. He enlarged his dominion by annexing Anga, as well as the present-day districts of Bhagalpur and Munger. His expansionist policy was supported by dynastic marriage ties to both the Kosala royal line and a Vaishali princess.
