About Ajatasatru
Ajatasattu or Ajatashatru in the Buddhist tradition, or Kunika and Kuniya in the Jain tradition, was one of the most important kings of the Haryanka dynasty of Magadha in East India. He was the son of King Bimbisara and was a contemporary of both Mahavira and Gautama Buddha. He forcefully took over the kingdom of Magadha from his father and imprisoned him. He fought a war against the Vajjika League, led by the Licchavis, and conquered the republic of Vaishali. Ajatashatru converted the village of Pataliputra into a fortified city.
