{'mauiyan king ashoka': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'mauiyan king chandra': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'devanama piya': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'gautam buddha': [3, 0, 0, 0], 'bhagwan mahavira': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'gupta maurya': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'dassi': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'name': [5, 0, 2, 5]}
Option 1 states that the Mauryan King Ashoka also had the name `Devanama Piya-dassi`. This means that Ashoka was known by this name as well. The name `Devanama Piya-dassi` was a title given to Ashoka when he converted to Buddhism and became a follower of the religion. However, it is important to note that `Devanama Piya-dassi` is not a personal name, but a title or epithet. It is often translated as "Beloved of the Gods" or "God-Loving". This title reflects Ashoka`s deep reverence and devotion towards Buddhism and his mission to spread its teachings. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1, stating that Ashoka also had the name `Devanama Piya-dassi`.
