الصفحة 137 - Piyadasi: — In religion is the chief excellence: — but religion consists in good works: — in the non-omission of many acts: mercy and charity, purity and chastity — (these are) to me the anointment of consecration.* Towards the poor and the afflicted, towards bipeds and quadrupeds, towards the fowls of the air and things that move in the waters, manifold have been the benevolent acts performed by me.

Thus a pair of legs separated...
الصفحة 123 - X. The beloved of the Gods, the Prince Piyadasi, does not esteem glory and fame as of great value ; and besides, for a long time it has been my fame and that of my people that the observance of moral duty and the service of the virtuous should be practised, for this is to be done. This is the fame that the beloved of the Gods desires ; and, inasmuch as the beloved of the Gods excels (he holds) all such reputation as no real reputation, but such as may be that of the unrighteous, — pain and chaff;...
الصفحة 124 - PIVADASI prbpitiateth all unbelievers, both of the ascetic and of the domestic classes ; by charitable offerings, and by every species of puja doth he (strive to) propitiate them. Not that the beloved of the gods deemeth offerings or prayers to be of the same (value) with true glory.
الصفحة 24 - Paudu is still shown on the top of a long low rocky hill about one mile to the north of the town. The hill is formed of enormous blocks of coarse gritty quartz, which are much weather-worn and rounded on all the exposed sides. Some of these blocks have a...
الصفحة 118 - Indian Antiquary, p. 272 ; Arch. Rep. 1874-5, p. 99. The 3rd section adverts to " expiation," and the 4th continues : " During a past period of many centuries, there have prevailed, destruction of life, injury to living beings, disrespect towards kindred, and irreverence towards Sramans and Brahmans.
