Explanation:
In both Buddhism and Hinduism, the pillar symbolized the axis mundi (the axis on which the planet spins) (the axis on which the world spins). The pillars and edicts represent the first tangible signs of the Buddhist religion.The inscriptions affirm the Buddhism of Ashoka and endorse his intention to spread the Dharma in his whole Empire.
Ashoka showed great concern for fairness in the exercise of justice, caution and tolerance in the application of sentences, and regularly pardoned prisoners. However, uniformity of the trialsand punishment should be desirable.From now on,this is my instruction.Three days' rest shall be granted to men who are imprisoned or sentenced to death.
Thus their partnerships will appeal for their survival, or they can make donations or swift to a better redemption in the next life where no one has them to plead for.For I would like you to conquer the next world
