{'ashoka': [6, 1, 2, 3], 'ajatasatru': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'bimbisara': [4, 0, 5, 0], 'kanishka': [4, 0, 0, 1], 'throne': [4, 0, 5, 0], 'simukha': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'father': [15, 3, 10, 14]}

The correct answer is option 2, Ajatasatru. Ajatasatru was a ruler in ancient India who murdered his father, King Bimbisara, in order to gain the throne. It is believed that Ajatasatru had a strained relationship with his father and wanted to take control of the kingdom himself. By eliminating his father, he was able to achieve his goal of ascending the throne. It is important to note that Ashoka (option 1), Kanishka (option 3), and Simukha (option 4) were also notable rulers in ancient India, but they were not involved in the assassination of Bimbisara.
