What to Focus On

  • The Maurya Empire broke up after the last Maurya emperor was assassinated around 185 BCE by Puṣhyamitra Śhunga.
  • Many new kingdoms rose after the Mauryas.
  • The northwest became vulnerable to outside invasions.
  • Puṣhyamitra Śhunga founded the Śhunga dynasty.
  • He ruled parts of north and central India.
  • He performed the aśhvamedha yajña.
  • The Sātavāhanas were also called Andhras.
  • They ruled large parts of the Deccan.
  • Their capitals included Amrāvatī and Pratiṣṭhāna.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Age of Reorganisation started because one foreign invader destroyed India and took over everything at once.

Puṣhyamitra Śhunga was an external invader who defeated the Mauryas from outside India.

The aśhvamedha yajña was only a religious ceremony and had nothing to do with royal power.
