AnswerClick to flip back
A
Bindusara
💡 Explanation:
Bindusara fits this description perfectly as he was both the father of Ashoka (son) and the son of Chandragupta Maurya (father). This riddle-like description emphasizes his position in the Mauryan dynastic lineage, bridging the gap between the founder Chandragupta and the great emperor Ashoka.
