The Gauda Invasion of Magadha was a military expedition of the Gauda Kingdom onto Magadha which was under the control of the Maukhari Dynasty. [1][2]
Background[edit]
The internal disintegration in the Maukhari dynasty with Grahavarman ruling in Kannauj and Suva in Magadha. This gave the Gaudas a perfect opportunity to invade and take control of Magadha. [3][4]
Aftermath[edit]
There are no coins of any Maukhari ruler after suca and it is plausible to say that the gaudas took advantage of the internal feud and took control over Magadha. [5][6][7]
