In both Buddhism and Hinduism, the pillar symbolized the axis mundi (the axis on which the world spins). The pillars and edicts represent the first physical evidence of the Buddhist faith. The inscriptions assert Ashoka's Buddhism and support his desire to spread the dharma throughout his kingdom.

Dhamma is the Prakrit word for Sanskrit term Dharma. Ashoka's dhamma did not involve worship of a god, or performance of a sacrifice. . Ashoka felt that like a father, he had a duty to instruct his subject.
