which means_____​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dharma

Explanation:

Dhamma is the Prakrit word for the Sanskrit word 'Dharma' while other English words equivalent to 'Dhamma' are 'piety' and 'righteousness'.

There were many problems that Ashoka wanted to solve by introducing dhamma.

      i.  People in the empire followed different religions, and this sometimes led to conflict.

      ii.  Animals were sacrificed.

      iii. Slaves and servants were ill-treated.

      iv. Besides, there were quarrels in families and amongst neighbours.

The word Dhamma was first seen in the edicts of the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka. ... In Zoroastrianism, dhamma means 'eternal law' or 'religion' which is related to the Sanskrit meaning of dhamma.

• Ashoka's dhamma (way of life) did not involve any worship to god or sacrifices, and he thought that his duty towards his subjects was like that of a father towards his son.
• There were many challenges in his empire, such as people followed different religions, animals were sacrificed, slaves and servants were ill-treated, there were quarrels between families and neighbours, and Ashoka worked hard to manage them.
• He appointed officials called Dhamma Mahamatta who travelled and spread Ashoka's dhamma, and sent messengers to different countries such as Egypt, Sri Lanka, Syria, and Greece to spread his dhamma.
• Ashoka also got his message inscribed on rocks and pillars, out of which his 13 rock edicts are the most famous.
