No he was married. And the story goes that chanakya used to poison CG's food with small amounts of poison so that he could become resistant to it & would not be poisoned by enemies.
One time CG's wife , when she is pregnant, shares his food with him & dies. In fact chanakya is said to have torn open the queen's stomach to save the baby. The baby is Bindusara who also becomes a great king when he grows up.
And CG is supposed to have taken sanyas in the jain tradition after his son takes over from him.
