Summary: Preparation and printing of a volume on Asoka's inscriptions began in 1914 but was halted due to the outbreak of war. The Government approved a resumption of printing in 1920, with updated research incorporated. The texts are based on copies from the Archeological Survey Department and supervised by Rao-Bahadur H. Krisuna Sastri. The volume includes rock-edicts, pillar-edicts, and donative inscriptions from various sites such as Girnar, Kalsi, Shahbazgarhi, and Mansehra. The translation and critical analysis of these texts have been done meticulously, with scholars' inputs like Dr. J. F. Freer and Professor Arthur Venis. The efforts of scholars like Mr. Robert Sewer and Professor Th. Zachariae E. Hultzsch have also been recognized. The inscriptions provide insights into Asoka's dharma, morality, and administration, emphasizing the importance of zeal and dedication in public service, echoing principles found in Buddhist teachings as seen in parallels from the Dhammapada. Comparing linguistic features shows the evolution of Prakrit language with elision of final consonants and unique forms in the inscriptions, reflecting the cultural and linguistic context of ancient India.
