In which of the following relief sculpture inscriptions is 'Ranyo Ashoka' (King Ashoka) mentioned along with the stone portrait of Ashoka?

Lists geographical spread of Ashokan edicts including as far south as Karnataka, implying Ashokan inscriptions occur in southern India.

A student could check Kanganahalli's location relative to the listed southern find-spots (Karnataka, Andhra) to judge plausibility that an Ashokan-style inscription might appear there.

Notes Ashokan inscriptions in Andhra-Karnataka regions and presence of Tamil-Brahmi inscriptions in nearby southern sites (Mangulam, Jambai).

Use a map to see if Kanganahalli lies within the region where Ashokan or Tamil-Brahmi epigraphy is known, making an Ashokan reference plausible.

Gives a clear example where a Brahmi inscription on a statue names the ruler (Kaṇiṣhka), demonstrating that inscriptions can accompany stone portraits to identify kings.

Apply the pattern (inscriptions can label portraits) to assess whether an inscription at Kanganahalli could reasonably contain the phrase 'Ranyo Ashoka' next to a stone portrait.

Shows inscriptions can appear on sculptures (example: Pitalkhora yakṣha with maker's name), indicating stone art and inscriptions frequently co-occur.

Combine this with knowledge of local epigraphic practices to infer that a portrait could have an accompanying inscription identifying its subject.

Describes other ruler-related rock inscriptions (e.g., Junagadh referring to provincial officials), illustrating the practice of recording rulers and officials on rock surfaces.

Use this as a precedent to consider whether a Kanganahalli rock/relief inscription might name a king like Ashoka, then seek transcription or photographs for verification.
