X was originally built by Ajatashatru in 490 BC as a small fort, and turned into the world's largest city in 300 BC with a population of about 400,000. It was the capital of the Magadhas, Nandas, Mauryans, Sungas and the Guptas down to the Palas, until it was destroyed by the Muslim raiders in the 12th century. Afterwards Sher Shah Suri made X his capital and changed its name to Y.
Y is a city in present-day India with a current population of 1,697,976.
Identify X and Y.
