He was the grandson of the great emperor and founder of the Maurya Dynasty, Chandragupta Maurya. Samrat Ashok was born in 304 B.C in Pataliputra which is present-day Patna. His reign lasted from 268 B.C to 232 B.C till his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mauryan_Empire\"><\/span>Mauryan Empire <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pataliputra was the capital of the Mauryan Empire.

He extended his empire by conquering nearby areas. The battle of Kalinga ( present-day Odisha) was fought in 265 B.C in which Kalinga was completely destroyed and thousands of people died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scenes of war disturbed Ashoka so much that he decided to leave violent ways and adopt a religious way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ashoka_%E2%80%93_Converting_to_Buddhism\"><\/span>Ashoka &#8211; Converting to Buddhism<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashoka converted to Buddhism in 263 B.C under the guidance of Moggaliputta Tissa, a Buddhist monk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ashokas_Dhamma\"><\/span>Ashoka&#8217;s Dhamma<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashoka&#8217;s dhamma or dharma was one of the notable things after his conversion to Buddhism. He asked all his citizens to avoid animal slaughter and practice ahimsa and truthfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To spread his words of Dharma, Ashoka erected edicts and pillars which are inscribed with religious teachings. Most of his edicts are written in Pali and Prakrit in Brahmi Script. He also sent his kids to spread the word of Buddha on foreign lands. His kids Mahinda and Sanghamitra went to Sri Lanka carrying the teachings of Buddha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/ssc-chsl\/?ref=mrg\">Start SSC CHSL Preparation Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ashoka_%E2%80%93_Sources_of_Information\"><\/span>Ashoka &#8211; Sources of Information<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main sources of information about Ashoka are Buddhist sources and Ashoka edicts.
