Telangana state, but historical references begin only with the Mauryan dynasty (late 4th to early 2nd century BCE) to the north. The great Mauryan emperor Ashoka (reigned c. 265–238 BCE) sent Buddhist missions to the Andhras in the south. The Buddhist Satavahana (or Satakarni) dynasty of the Andhras assumed power in about the 1st century CE and came to control nearly all of the Deccan. They were patrons of diverse religions, and they also were great builders; their principal city, Amaravati (now in Andhra Pradesh), contained Buddhist monuments that inaugurated a new style of architecture. Some of the renowned paintings in the Ajanta Caves in Maharashtra have been linked to the Andhra painters of that period. Buddhism prospered under the Andhras, and in their capital flourished the great Buddhist university of antiquity, where Nagarjuna (c. 150–250 CE), the founder of the Mahayana school of Buddhism, taught. The ruins of the university are at Nagarjunakonda in Andhra Pradesh.
