"Paid expert" who?

If Yudhiṣṭhira was a "2000-year-old fictional character" inspired by King Ashoka as Romila Thapar's & Devdutts of this world claim, how did Chanakya(320 BC)
the minister of Ashoka's grandfather,mention Yudhiṣṭhira in his Arthaśāstra?

Any ans devdutt Myth? https://t.co/iE5edIrks1


In Chapter 8 of Arthaśāstra, Kautilya compares hunting to gambling. Kautilya says gambling is a bigger vice than hunting and recounts "the history of Yudhiṣṭhira" who lost everything in gambling From Arthashastra 8.1 (English translation by Shamsastry).


If Yudhiṣṭhira was just "character of an Epic created 2000 years ago"
how did Pāṇini mention Yudhiṣṭhira in Aṣṭādhyāyī (8.3.95) dating back to atleast 2400 years?
How did Sātavāhanas mention him in inscriptions dating back to 2100 years?
Dropped ur brain somewhere?

Buddha praised King Yudhiṣṭhira as " wise, righteous, greatest alms-giver". Recorded in ancient Buddhist scriptures. Ashoka was a Buddhist king who tried to rule like great kings praised by Buddha. So, who inspired whom? Is it so hard for this "Eminent historian" to figure out?

Buddha praises Yudhiṣṭhira as "the righteous king who formerly ruled Indraprastha & set entire Bhāratavarsha in commotion with alms-giving" (Dhūmakāri-jātaka, Dasabrahmana Jataka).
Ashoka ruled 200 years after Buddha.
But this genius says Ashoka was born before Yudhiṣṭhira😂
