Correct:
A
Explanation
Rock Edict XII is the primary source for Ashoka's policy of religious tolerance and synthesis. In this edict, Ashoka emphasizes the growth of the "essential spirit" (Sara) of all religious sects. He advocates for restraint of speech (vachiguti), urging people not to praise their own sect or disparage others without reason, as doing so harms one's own faith. He promotes the idea that by honoring other sects, one strengthens their own.
- Rock Edict II: Mentions medical treatment for humans and animals and the planting of medicinal herbs.
- Rock Edict XI: Explains the concept of Dhamma-dana (the gift of Dhamma).
- Rock Edict XIII: Describes the Kalinga War and Ashoka's subsequent remorse and turning towards Dhamma-vijaya.
