Sangrahaalay mein Zoya ek gallery dekhti jismein cheezein bilkul alag: nakkaashi wali pathar ki reling, jahaaz wala sikka, Yoonaani shaili ke vastron wale dhoosar Buddh, badi moonchh wali laal balua pathar ki moorti. "Kya ye sab ek raajya se?" wo poochhti. "Nahi," sangrahaalay adhyaksh kehte. "Ye Mauryon ke baad uthe kai raajyon se."

Lagbhag 185 BCE antim Maurya samraat ko unke senaapati Pushyamitra Shunga ne maara, aur saamraajya toota. Kai naye raajya uthe, aksar pehle ke karad, aur kamzor uttar-pashchim aakramanon ke liye khula. Vidvaan ise Punargathan ka Yug kehte: kshetra hode lagaate raajyon mein punargathit hue, jo yuddh ya shaantipoorn vaivaahik gathbandhan (dosti pakki karne wale shaahi vivaah) se aage badhe. Kuch vansh upmahaadweep ke andar se (Shunga, Saatavaahan, Chedi, Chola, Chera, Paandya), kuch bahar se aaye (Hind-Yoonaani, Shak, Kushaan).

Pushyamitra ne uttar aur madhya Bharat mein Shunga vansh sthaapit kiya aur ashvamedh yagya kiya, Vaidik anushthaan jismein ghoda khula ghoomta aur jis zameen ko bina chunauti paar karta wo raaja ki. Vaidik anushthaan laute, par doosre vichaar bhi phale. Sanskrit darshan aur saahitya ki pasandeeda bhaasha bani, aur Patanjali ne Yog Sootra sankalit kiye. Shungon ne Bharhut stoop mein sundar nakkaashi wali reling jodi, sabse puraani Bauddh kala mein se. Unka vansh lagbhag sau saal chala.
