dear Thiru.viggop,
Emperor Cenni is the one who thwarted all Mauryan attempts of invading the Tamil land south of River Krishna.

Actually, it was a confederation of South Indian kings who stood up to Bhimbisara. Bhimbisara claims to have received tributes and stopped his campaign and his inscriptions extend only up to Northern Karnataka the traditional border of Tamizhagam (Thungabadra). South Indian kings that they stopped the king's advamce. There are no records whether a battle actually took place.

It is possible that both of them were right. That the confederation of South Indian kings stopped the campaign in a show of force and got into a treaty with the North Indian king with a tribute. Thus, nobody won or lost and no mass killings and weaking of empires. Bhimbisara must have realized that even if he would win the war, he would lose heavily to not be able to occupy the South or retain the North.

Rgds, Aravind Sitaraman
