Description

The present volume was intended to embody Dr. D. C. Sircar’s studies of Asokan edicts published on different occasions, but suitably edited for it ; however,it has actually come to be a valuable Supplement to the
monumental work of E. Hultzsch, entitled Inscriptions of Asoka (Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum, Vol. I,
revised edition), 1925, in which all the Brāhmi and Kharosthi inscriptions of the Maurya king discovered in the Indian sub-continent till then were ably edited.After 1925, new Asokan records in Brāhmi have been found at twelve sites in India, and out of them, the Gavīmath and Pālkigundu (Raichur District, Karnataka)
versions of MRE I were published by R. L. Turner while Sircar studied the remaining Rock and Villar edicts discovered at Ahraurā, Amarāvatī, Bahāpur(Delhi), Erraguļi, Gujarrā, Nittūr, Pāngurāriā, Rājula-Mandagiri, Sopārā and Udegolam in different parts of India in Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka, Madhya
Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. He has also written on some of the Greek and Aramaic records of Asoka, which have been discovered in Afghanistan and
Pakistan.
