The Emperor of Emperors, the man who's referred to as Devanampriya, "The Beloved of Gods", and Priyadarsin, "He who regards everyone with affection".
"Amidst the tens of thousands of names of monarchs that crowd the columns of history, their majesties and graciousnesses and serenities and royal highnesses and the like, he shines, and shines, almost alone, a star."
~H.G.Wells
"In the history of the world there have been thousands of kings and emperors who called themselves 'their highnesses', 'their majesties', and 'their exalted majesties' and so on. They shone for a brief moment, and as quickly disappeared. But Ashoka shines and shines brightly like a bright star, even unto this day."
