The great Mauryan King Asoka had Cholas as his contemporaries. The reference of Cholas are available in Asoka's rock edicts. Based on that, it appears that Cholas were independent kings and they were not part of Asoka's empire.
As per the Tamil poet named Mamoolanar, it is evident that Mauryas conquered South India. They got help from Kosars, who had earlier captured the Tulu country. The Mauryas found it difficult to fight against the Mogur king and hence they got help from Vadugars to win them. As per the Tibetian historian Taranath, it can be assumed that it was Bindusara who had conquered South India. We should assume that after Bindusara, the Mauryas power reclined in South India and they probably became friends of Maurysa during Asoka's time.
