The Mauryan Dynasty had several rulers, with the most notable being Chandragupta Maurya, his son Bindusara, and the famous Emperor Ashoka. In total, there are traditionally considered to be about four major rulers of the dynasty: Chandragupta, Bindusara, Ashoka, and his successor, Dasharatha Maurya.
