Shalishuka (IAST: Śāliśuka) Maurya was the 6th Emperor of the Indian Maurya dynasty.[2] He ruled from 215–202 BCE. He was the successor and son of Samprati Maurya.[3] While the Yuga Purana section of the Gargi Samhita mentions him as a quarrelsome, unrighteous ruler, he is also noted as being of "righteous words"[4]
- In that beautiful Puṣpapura, occupied by fewer than a hundred kings, there will be Śāliśūka, born for the destruction of the truth, the offspring of karma (Fate).
- That king, the offspring of karma, cheerful-minded [yet] fond of conflict, [will be] an oppressor of his own kingdom, of righteous speech but unrighteous conduct;
— Yuga Purana[5]
According to the Puranas he was succeeded by Devavarman.[6]
