Several provinces broke away, with rulers like Jalauka in Kashmir and Virasena in Gandhara establishing independent kingdoms. The northwestern territories were lost, and southern vassal states such as the Satavahanas and the Mahameghavahana dynasty of Kalinga reasserted their independence. While Dasharatha retained control over Magadha, the overall imperial structure disintegrated, leading to the eventual end of the Mauryan dynasty.
