Answer:
The lions that we see on our notes and coins
have a long history. They were carved in stone,
and placed on top of a massive stone pillar at
Sarnath (about which you read in Chapter 6).
Ashoka was one of the greatest rulers known
to history and on his instructions inscriptions
were inscribed on pillars, as well as on rock
surfaces. Before we find out what was written
in these inscriptions, let us see why his
kingdom was called an empire.
The empire that Ashoka ruled was founded
by his grandfather, Chandragupta Maurya,
more than 2300 years ago. Chandragupta was
supported by a wise man named Chanakya or
Kautilya. Many of Chanakya’s ideas were
written down in a book called the Arthashastra.
