18 THE SACRED BOOKS My Mahamatras ever work For holy righteousness, They work to show the pious way, To show the path of peace! 4. Would'st thou know that pious way, That righteous path of peace — It is the way that leads to joy, To joy and holy bliss! Religion! — 'tis another name For Truth and Charity, Religious rite and sacrifice Is Kindness, Purity! 5. Some would spread religious faith By strong compulsive laws — Gentle lessons and persuasion Be still Asoka's ways! I value inward inspiration — Awakening of the heart — Not a formal blind compliance With rules that we impart. 6. With this view this righteous edict This year 4 I promulgate, May it teach my sons and grandsons And my people great! May it unto after ages Like sun and moon endure, May it in this life, and after. Righteous bliss secure! 4 The year is mentioned in the text, being twenty-seven years after Asoka's coronation. The date of the edict is therefore about 240 B.C.
LITERATURE OF THE EAST 19 A MESSAGE TO FOREIGN NATIONS (FROM THE THIRTEENTH EDICT OF GIRNAR) Far, far extend Kalinga's plains, And Bengal's fertile coast; Asoka, of the gods beloved, There sent his conquering host. They slaved a hundred thousand men, A hundred thousand died — "And is this what a conquest means?" The pious monarch cried! "Brahmins pure and Sramans good, And men who toil in life; Parents to their children dear, Fond husband, weeping wife — These I've killed, enslaved, and sold, And bade the helpless die!" A throb was on the monarch's brow, A tear was in his eye! Repentance wrung his royal breast, And he was meek and lowly; And virtuous wishes filled his soul, And aspirations holy. He thought of Sakya, noble Teacher, Buddha, high of birth, Who left his throne and toiled for men, And spread good-will on earth! 1. 2. 3.
