Most of what is known of the period of reign of King Ashoka are based on edicts inscribed on stones and pillars. Some of the translations of these edicts are based on earlier English translations of a renowned Indian author called Amulyachandra Sen. His works were translated into Magadhi, Sanskrit and English.
King Ashoka converted to Buddhism. Before then, he was said to have been a cruel and ruthless ruler.
- A number edicts were inscribed on stones and pillars and discovered in the nineteenth century in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nepal. As Buddhist disciple, most of these edicts were concerned with the reforms promulgated and recommended moral principles, in his quest for a more just and humane society. For this reason, edicts were written in his own words on stones and pillars and erected in various parts of his territories.
- After he became a Buddhist he also built a number of stupas (religious temples hemispherical structures used to keep relics and remains of Buddhist monks and nuns.) He promoted religious freedom and harmony, notwithstanding, most of his principles were based on Buddhism philosophy.
- Years after his succession, he sent envoys to Greek kings of neighboring territories. Envoys are normally equipped with letters and presents which are often presented.
