The Nanda capital was located at [[Pataliputra]] (near present-day [[Patna]]) in the [[Magadha]] region of eastern India. This is confirmed by the Buddhist and Jain traditions, as well as the Sanskrit play ''[[Mudrarakshasa]]''. The Puranas also connect the Nandas to the [[Shaishunaga dynasty]], which ruled in the Magadha region. The Greek accounts state that Agrammes (identified as a Nanda king) was the ruler of the [[Gangaridai]] (the [[Ganges River|Ganges]] valley) and the Prasii (probably a transcription of the Sanskrit word ''prachya''s, literally "easterners"). According to the later writer [[Megasthenes]] (c. 300 BCE), Pataliputra (Greek: Palibothra) was located in the country of the Prasii, which further confirms that Pataliputra was the Nanda capital.{{sfn|Irfan Habib|Vivekanand Jha|2004|p=13}} | The Nanda capital was located at [[Pataliputra]] (near present-day [[Patna]]) in the [[Magadha]] region of eastern India.
