Priyadarsi'?Solution
Emperor Ashoka Maurya (ruled 268-232 BCE) was known by the title "Devanampriya Priyadarsi," meaning "Beloved of the Gods, He who looks on with affection." This title appears frequently in his rock and pillar edicts where he advocated for Dhamma (moral law), non-violence, and welfare policies. Ashoka's reign is considered one of the most significant in Indian history, marked by his transformation after the bloody Kalinga War, which led him to embrace Buddhism and principles of non-violence, compassion, and moral governance.
