Magadh Emperor Chandra Gupta's Nepali linkage

Hari Narayan Apte, an eminent Indian scholar in his book entitled “Chanakya and Chandra Gupta”, clearly mentions in his carefully written book that Chandra Gupta was the son of a KIRATI girl, Mura Devi. He also mentions that Mura Devi hailed from the mountains wherein Kirats lived then and continue to live still. We the Nepalese have to our fame the presence of Kirateshwar Mahadev (Lord Shiva) who hails, we have been told, from this area. It should be right in this area where Arjun, the great warrior of the Mahabharata era, was blessed by Lord Shiva in his KIRAT form.
