What is written by King Ashoka in inscription of Kaling?
Answers
Answer:
Edict XIII of Ashoka's Great Rock Inscriptions: The Kalinga War and Dhamma-vijaya. Ashoka's imperial patronage and his quest for the “Victory of [Buddhist] Religion” (Dhamma-vijaya) laid the foundation stone for the rise of Buddhism as world religion.
Explanation:
The conquest of Kalinga at the eastern coast of India by Ashoka (268-233) in the year 261 BC was an event of greatest historical importance for India and world history. It brought to completion the rise of the Maurya kingdom as the first pan-Indian state. But the atrocities committed on the people of Kalinga led him to adopt Buddhism and its teaching of non-violence (ahimsa). As Devanampriya (“Beloved of the Gods”) he propagated its Dhamma (“religion”) by his unique rock and pillar inscriptions, placed at about sixty selected places throughout South Asia and Afghanistan, and by missionaries sent to the Hellenistic rulers in the Mediterranean world: to the Yona (Greek) king, Antiyoka (Antiochos II of Syria, 261 to 246 BC), Turamaya (Ptolomaios II Philadelphos, 285–247), Antikini (Antigonos Gonatas of Macedonia, 276–239), Maka (Magas of Cyrene, c.300–250), Alikasudara (probably Alexander of Epirus, 272–255). Moreover, his son Mahinda brought Buddhism to Sri Lanka and two monks to Burma. Ashoka’s imperial patronage and his quest for the “Victory of [Buddhist] Religion” (Dhamma-vijaya) laid the foundation stone for the rise of Buddhism as world religion.
