Answer 1

Answer:

the Asokan inscriptions only mentioned Asoka's policy of dhamma, but the reactions of the people towards his policies have not been recorded in any inscriptions. Thus, inscriptional evidences need to be juxtaposed with other historical perspectives so as to arrive at a better understanding of the past.

The Ashokan inscriptions give us a lot of information about the Mauryas. Mauryan kings engraved their orders and doctrines on rocks and stones. The inscriptions were written in Pali and Sanskrit so that common person can easily understand.

The Ashokan inscriptions give us a lot of. information about the Mauryas.

• Mauryan kings engraved their orders and doctrines on rocks and stones.

• The inscriptions were written in Pali and Sanskrit so that common person can easily understand. In northwestern parts of the sub continent, the inscription was in the Kharoshti script. Thus, the local languages of the people were valued.

• Ashoka proclaimed the principle of dhamma according to which included respect towards elders, generosity towards Brahmanas and those who renounced worldly life, treating slaves and servants kindly, and respect for religions and traditions other than one’s own.

Following are the limitations of the inscriptional evidence:

• Technical limitations: Faintly engraved letters make the task of reconstruction uncertain and difficult. Inscriptions may be damaged or letters missing.

• Although several thousand inscriptions have been discovered, not all have been deciphered, published and translated.

• Inscriptions have not been able to survive the ravages of time. Thus, we have only limited inscriptions.
