Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 12 - Chapter 1 - Verse 11

Sanskrit:

नव नन्दान् द्विज: कश्चित् प्रपन्नानुद्धरिष्यति ।तेषामभावे जगतीं मौर्या भोक्ष्यन्ति वै कलौ ॥ ११ ॥

ITRANS:

nava nandān dvijaḥ kaścitprapannān uddhariṣyatiteṣām abhāve jagatīṁmauryā bhokṣyanti vai kalau

Translation:

A certain brāhmaṇa [Cāṇakya] will betray the trust of King Nanda and his eight sons and will destroy their dynasty. In their absence the Mauryas will rule the world as the Age of Kali continues.

Purport:

Śrīdhara Svāmī and Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura both confirm that the brāhmaṇa mentioned here is Cāṇakya, also known as Kauṭilya or Vātsyāyana. The great historical narration Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, which began with the events prior to the cosmic manifestation, now reaches into the realm of modern recorded history. Modern historians recognize both the Maurya dynasty and Candragupta, the king mentioned in the following verse.
