The present English translation of the inscriptions of Asoka, one of the most sincere followers of the Buddha, was undertaken at the request of the Buddha Jayanti Working Committee formed by the Government of India in connection with the celebration of the 2500th anniversary of the Lord's Maha-Parinirvāṇa. The objective is to carry the message of Asoka's edicts to the public. Gautama the Buddha and the Maurya emperor Asoka are two of the greatest sons of India and the world, and their lives and achievements stand among India's best contributions to human civilization.
