What was the real name of Chanakya ?

  • A.Vishnugupta
  • B.Ramtanu Mishra
  • C.Kautilya
  • D.Vishisht

Answer: C

It was Vishnugupta.

The Arthashastra colophon names its author Vishnugupta; Chanakya is the patronymic, from his father Chanaka, and Kautilya the gotra name. All three refer to the Brahmin of Takshashila who set Chandragupta on the Magadhan throne.
