In Book III of the epic Asoka Trilogy lies the answer to the great question: Who will be remembered as the greatest Samrat of the land of the Aryas?

The Legend of King Aśoka by John S. Strong Pdf

This first English translation of the Asokavadana text, the Sanskrit version of the legend of King Asoka, first written in the second century A.D. Emperor of India during the third century B.C. and one of the most important rulers in the history of Buddhism. Asoka has hitherto been studied in the West primarily from his edicts and rock inscriptions in many parts of the Indian subcontinent. Through an extensive critical essay and a fluid translation, John Strong examines the importance of the Asoka of the legends for our overall understanding of Buddhism. Professor Strong contrasts the text with the Pali traditions about Kind Asoka and discusses the Buddhist view of kingship, the relationship of the state and the Buddhist community, the king s role in relating his kingdom to the person of the Buddha, and the connection between merit making, cosmology, and Buddhist doctrine. An appendix provides summaries of other stories about Asoka.

Ashoka in Ancient India by Nayanjot Lahiri Pdf

In the third century BCE, Ashoka ruled an empire encompassing much of modern-day India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. During his reign, Buddhism proliferated across the South Asian subcontinent, and future generations of Asians came to see him as the ideal Buddhist king. Disentangling the threads of Ashoka’s life from the knot of legend that surrounds it, Nayanjot Lahiri presents a vivid biography of this extraordinary Indian emperor and deepens our understanding of a legacy that extends beyond the bounds of Ashoka’s lifetime and dominion. At the center of Lahiri’s account is the complex personality of the Maurya dynasty’s third emperor—a strikingly contemplative monarch, at once ambitious and humane, who introduced a unique style of benevolent governance. Ashoka’s edicts, carved into rock faces and stone pillars, reveal an eloquent ruler who, unusually for the time, wished to communicate directly with his people. The voice he projected was personal, speaking candidly about the watershed events in his life and expressing his regrets as well as his wishes to his subjects. Ashoka’s humanity is conveyed most powerfully in his tale of the Battle of Kalinga. Against all conventions of statecraft, he depicts his victory as a tragedy rather than a triumph—a shattering experience that led him to embrace the Buddha’s teachings. Ashoka in Ancient India breathes new life into a towering figure of the ancient world, one who, in the words of Jawaharlal Nehru, “was greater than any king or emperor.”

Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy (Book II: Greater Good) by Timothy Zahn Pdf

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Thrawn and his allies race to save the Chiss Ascendancy from an unseen enemy in the second book in the epic Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy from bestselling author Timothy Zahn. Thrawn’s latest triumph still rests newly on his shoulders. He has led the Chiss to victory and brought glory to the House of Mitth, but the true threat to the Ascendancy has not yet been extinguished. Their foes do not send threats or ultimatums, do not mass ships on the edge of the Chaos. Their weapons come cloaked in smiles and generosity: Gifts offered freely. Services granted unconditionally. Across the Ascendancy, seemingly inconsequential events could herald the doom of the Chiss. As Thrawn and the Expansionary Defense Fleet rally to uncover the plot, they discover a chilling truth: Rather than invade Chiss capitals or pillage resources, their enemy strikes at the very foundation of the Ascendancy, seeking to widen the rifts between the Nine Ruling Families and the Forty Great Houses below. As rivalry and suspicion sow discord among allies, each warrior must decide what matters most to them: the security of their family or the survival of the Ascendancy itself.

The Great Debacle by Alan Bassett Pdf

The thrilling climax of The Ashoka Chronicles epic trilogy. A Cosmic Event Is About To Happen ~ When Dimensions Collide... Time Is No More."The Great Debacle was, as predicted, a time of unspeakable horrors. The Four Horsemen mercilessly ravaged the planet, their ferocity intensified by natural disasters without end. The Master tells me that my work is to continue writing, not as a futurist but as a historian who records the end of time. He says it will be the last history book ever to be written. "There is another world that emerges in my dreams even more vivid than the waking nightmares of the Third Dimension: It is a world eerily illuminated by a fiery comet."Arthur Asquith-Doyle, 2016 A.D. The Third World War is reaching a climax as the Western Coalition and the Empire of China risk the annihilation of the human race in their quest for global domination. The only force that can stop them is the mysterious power source controlled by the Ashoka Circle of Nine. When the global nuclear holocaust threatens to extinguish all life on the planet, the Ashoka Circle of Nine unleashes its alien power element into the atmosphere in an attempt to transform human consciousness before time runs out. Their success or failure depends on the chosen Adept who must stop the Wheel of Time and create a bridge for humanity's transit to the Fourth Dimension.The warring powers of East and West may not be able to stop the Last Adept, but his own lover may be his Achilles tendon in the effort to save the human race from extinction.At the midnight hour, the Ashoka Circle of Nine catalyzes a Cosmic Event of chaos and impending doom, causing another planet to hurtle through space on a collision course with Earth. It becomes clear that the Nine have no intention to rescue the planet from destruction as they play out their multi-dimensional Grand Design for purposes known only to them; but even the Nine cannot predict the consequences of their ultimate gamble."What we are witnessing is the approach of a cosmic time bomb, and we have no idea where or when it may explode. I cannot say if the planet can survive such a cosmic event. Whatever happens, this comet could be the astral agent of a planetary metamorphosis inconceivable in scale."

Ashoka by Charles L. Allen Pdf

Through his third century BCE quest to govern the Indian subcontinent by moral force alone, Ashoka transformed Buddhism from a minor sect into a major world religion. His bold experiment ended in tragedy, and in the tumult that followed the historical record was cleansed so effectively that his name was largely forgotten for almost two thousand years. Yet, a few mysterious stone monuments and inscriptions miraculously survived the purge. In Ashoka: The Search for India's Lost Emperor, historian Charles Allen tells the incredible story of how a few enterprising archaeologists deciphered the mysterious lettering on keystones and recovered India's ancient past. Drawing from rich sources, Allen crafts a clearer picture of this enigmatic figure than ever before.
