Answer» The rivers made the land very fertile and the Grihapatis could irrigate their lands easily. The rivers were also used for transporting goods and armies. Parts of the Magadha were forested. Elephants were captured from there and trained for fighting in the armies. Wood from the forests was used for building fortresses and palaces and chariots. In the southern parts of Magadha, there were iron ore deposits that could be used for making weapons, etc. All this enabled Magadha to emerge as a very powerful kingdom. The kingdom extended from the northwest part of India to Odisha. Thus Magadha used the natural wealth of the region to build a powerful kingdom.
