Ajata Shatru - The Unborn Enemy

Ajata shatru is probably a title he adopted to signify his military successes, because it actually means he whose enemies are unborn. In order to prevent public opinion from turning against them, even the budha was weary of pimbisara and his son seem to have begun to develop networks of spies. Magada then moved to seize the central gunga basin, only to be fiercely resisted by coalition consisting of nine lichavi republics, nine malla republics and 18 republics formerly under the control of kashi. Ultimately, magra did find a solution to his problem: He turned the republican bonds of trust that had swallowed one another into one single bond.
