Bindusara was a follower of which sect?

Bindusara is associated in later Buddhist tradition with support for, or proximity to, Ajivika teachers. Mauryan history is reconstructed from several different bodies of evidence: Ashokan inscriptions, archaeological remains, the Arthashastra tradition, Buddhist and Jain narratives, Puranic genealogies, and Greek or Roman accounts. Buddhism is more strongly associated with Ashoka, Jain tradition with Chandragupta’s final years, and Brahmanism does not match the specific sectarian association asked here.
