Minor Asokan Rock-Edict No.1:- This is one of the unique discoveries. The version of this Rock Edict is very akin to that of the Sasaram Minor Rock Edict 1. In the inscription, Asoka says that he had been an upasaka (lay worshipper) for more than two-and-a-half years and that in the beginning, he could not make significant progress. Only after his association with the sangha, he zealously propagated dhamma. Further, the emperor says that he made the people of Jambudvipa so virtuous that even gods came on earth and mingled with them. He informs that this proclamation was made by him when he was on tour for two hundred and fifty-six days. In the end, he exhorts that the inscription should be engraved on rocks and on pillars wherever available.
