Bindusara was called by the Greeks as “Amitragatha” meaning slayer of enemies.
Expansion up to Mysore

Taranatha, the Tibetan monk states that Bindusara conquered 16 states comprising ‘the land between the two seas’.
The Sangam Tamil literature also confirms the Mauryan invasion of the far south.

Therefore, it can be said that the Mauryan Empire under Bindusara extended up to Mysore.
Greek sources also mention his diplomatic relations with western kings.
Bindusara appointed his son Ashoka as the governor of Ujjain.
