Rock Edict XIII is the principal source of information on Asoka`s campaign against Kalin-ga. This edict is found inscribed on rocks and provides crucial historical details about Asoka`s conquest of the kingdom of Kalin-ga. It mentions the strategic military movements and the outcomes of the campaign. The rock edicts of Asoka were created to disseminate his policies and achievements to the people, and they provide valuable insights into his reign. While the Pillar Edict VII, Mahavamsa, and Divyavadana also contain information about Asoka, they do not specifically focus on his campaign against Kalin-ga. Therefore, Rock Edict XIII is considered the primary and most reliable source for studying this particular military campaign.
