			Indian source Bhavishya Purana also mentioned about Chandrgupta marriage:
			<blockquote>

			candraguptastasya sutaḥ paurasādhi pateḥ sutām।
			sulūvasya tathodvahya yāvanī baudhatatparaḥ।।

			Translation: The descendants of Shakyasingh became Lord Buddha, who ruled for half of his father's time. Chandragupta, a descendant of Buddha, married the Buddhist daughter of the Greek ruler Seleucus, and he ruled for sixty years. After him, Bindusara, ruled, and eventually, Ashoka emerged as a significant ruler, continuing the lineage of Bindusara.
