According to the Buddhist tradition, the ancestors of the Maurya kings had settled in a region
where peacocks (mora in Pali) were abundant. Therefore, they came to be known as "Moriyas",
literally, "belonging to the place of peacocks". According to another Buddhist account, these
ancestors built a city called Moriya-nagara ("Moriya-city"), which was so called, because it was
built with the "bricks coloured like peacocks' necks".
