Kalhana mentions that Jaloka, the son of Ashoka reigned in Kashmir and he conquered up to Kanyakubja. Jaloka was the only son of Kalashoka who had an illustrious tenure. It appears that Mahanandin, the last king of Sisunaga dynasty took the advantage of infighting among the sons of Kalashoka and conquered Magadha and restored the rule of Sisunaga dynasty.
