All through his learning, his teachers were impressed by his sharp intellect and reasoning power; he was appropriately called `Kautilya' (master of astuteness). After completing his education, he started teaching in Takshashila University itself. Having studied politics, he kept a close watch over national and international political happenings from the beginning. During this period, he closely tracked the invaders of Northern India like Seleucus and Sikander (Alexander). Even in his home and neighbouring States, the state of affairs were not normal. The subjects were unjustly and heavily taxed by the rulers. They were intolerably burdened. All these circumstances disturbed Chanakya. He also wanted India to be united. He, therefore, took a vow to serve the nation. He left the teaching job at Takshashila University and came to Patliputra.

In Patliputra, when he met King Ghananand, he bluntly told him of his shortcomings and the hardships being faced by the masses.
