Detailed Solution

Bimbisara was the first ruler of the Magadha Dynasty. It is said that his expansion of the kingdom, notably his absorption of the kingdom of Anga to the east, fueled the eventual establishment of the Mauryan empire. He was the Buddha's intimate companion and protector, as well as a cultural contributor. Bimbisara built the Rajagriha city, which is mentioned in Buddhist literature. His son Ajatashatru, who assassinated his father to seize power, succeeded him.
