Q. The name ‘Asoka’ is explicitly mentioned in which of the following edicts?
Maski
Gujarra
Nittur
Choose the correct answer using the codes given below: Answer:
1, 2 & 3
Notes:
It is interesting to note that the name ‘Asoka’ is explicitly mentioned in only three recenssions of the first Minor Rock Edict (at Maski, Gujarra and Nittur) and two versions of the second minor rock edict (at Nittur and Udegolam). In the majority of these editions the emperor is also mentioned as Priyadarsi and/or Devanampriya. Either or both of these epithets appear in the rest of his epigraphs.
