He ruled from {{circa|187|180 BCE}}. He was killed by his general, Pushyamitra Shunga, who went on to establish the Shunga Empire. Mauryan territories, centred on the capital of Pataliputra, had shrunk considerably from the time of Ashoka when Brihadratha came to the throne. ReignAccording to the Puranas, Brihadratha succeeded Shatadhanvan and ruled for seven years.[1] Coup d'état by Pushyamitra ShungaBrihadratha Maurya was killed in 180 BCE and power usurped by his general, Pushyamitra Shunga, who then took over the throne and established the Shunga Empire. Bāṇabhaṭṭa's Harshacharita says that Pushyamitra, while parading the entire Mauryan army before Brihadratha on the pretext of showing him the strength of the army, crushed his master.[2] Pushyamitra killed the former emperor in front of his military and established himself as the new ruler. Invasion of Demetrius IIn 180 BCE, northwestern India (parts of modern day Afghanistan and Pakistan) was occupied by the Greco-Bactrian king Demetrius (Dharmamita), following the overthrow of the Mauryan dynasty by the general Pushyamitra Shunga. The Mauryans had diplomatic alliances with the Greeks, and they may have been considered as allies by the Greco-Bactrians. The Greco-Bactrians may also have invaded India in order to protect Greek populations in the subcontinent. He established his rule in the Kabul Valley and parts of the Punjab region. Soon, however, they had to leave for Bactria to fight a fierce battle (probably between Eucratides I and Demetrius).[3] The hypothesized Yavana invasion of Pataliputra is based in the Yuga Purana. Written in a prophetic, the a scripture describes the campaign of King Dharmamita: {{quote|{{ordered list | start = 47| Then, having approached Saketa, together with Panchala and the Mathuras, the Yavanas (Indo-Greeks), wicked and valiant, will reach Kusumadhvaja ("The town of the flower-standard", Pataliputra). | Then, once Puspapura (Pataliputra) has been reached, [and] its celebrated mud[-walls] cast down, all the realms will be in disorder, there is no doubt. | There will then finally be a great war, of wooden weapons, and there will be the vilest of men, dishonourable and unrighteous.}}|source=Yuga Purana[4][5]}} References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Thapar|first1=Romila|title=Aśoka and the decline of the Mauryas : with new afterword, bibliography and index|date=1998|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=Delhi|isbn=0-19-564445-X|page=183|edition=2nd}} {{s-start}}{{s-hou|Maurya Empire||||}}{{s-bef|rows=2|before=Shatadhanvan}}{{s-ttl|rows=2|title=Maurya Emperor|years=187–180}}{{s-aft|after=Pushyamitra2. ^Lahiri, B.
