प्रश्न
What is an Edict? Mention the significance of Ashokan Edicts, with particular reference to the Rock Edict XIII and the Rummindei Pillar Inscription.
उत्तर
Ashokan Edicts: An edict means “an official order or proclamation. According to the Rock Edict XIII, in the Kalinga war about a hundred thousand people were killed and as many as one hundred and fifty thousand were taken as prisoners. The horrors of the War awakened in Ashoka’s heart the feelings of profound sorrow. The XHIth Rock Edict says “The Beloved of the Gods, the King considers victory by dhamma to be the foremost victory.” The inscription on the Rummindei Pillar, for instance, says “King, the beloved of the Gods, visited this spot in person and offered worship at this palace because the Lord Buddha was born here.”
