अजातशत्रू बाबत पुढीलपैकी कोणती विधाने बरोबर आहेत ? / Which of the following statements are true about Ajatashatru ?
(a)्याचे नाव कुणिक सुद्धा होते. / His name was also Kunika.
(b)तो हर्यक घराण्याचा शेवटचा शासक होता. / He was the last ruler of the Haryanka dynasty.
(c)त्याच्या शासनकाळात राजगृह येथे प्रथम बौद्ध परिषद आयोजित केली गेली. / The first Budhist council was held at Rajgruh during his regime.
(d)त्याने लिच्छवी राज्याला मगध मध्ये विलीन केले. / He integrated Lichhavi kingdom into Magadh.
Ajatashatru was also known as Kunika, integrated the Lichhavi kingdom into Magadha, and the first Buddhist council was held at Rajagriha during his reign. However, he was not the last ruler of the Haryanka dynasty; Nagadaksh/Bhaṭṭiya or Udayin succeeded later, making (b) incorrect.

(a)अंग - दक्षिण बिहार
