Answer:
Devanampriya was a Pali honorific epithet used by a few Indian monarchs, but most particularly the Indian Emperor Ashoka in his inscriptions. "Devanampriya" means "Beloved of the Gods". It is often used by Ashoka in conjunction with the title Priyadarshi, which means "He who regards others with kindness", "Humane"
Devanam Priyadarshi:
Devanampiya Tissa of Anuradhapura, ruler of Sri Lanka based at the ancient capital of Anuradhapura.
Ashoka, Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty.
Dasharatha Maurya, grandson of Ashoka, in his Barabar caves inscriptions, in the form "Devanampiya Dasaratha".
Vana-varampan, early Tamil for "the One who is Loved by the Gods" - title of a Tamil Chera chieftain of early historic south India.
