Ashoka the Great
Ashoka had almost been forgotten, but in the 19th century, James Prinsep contributed to the revelation of historical sources. After deciphering the Brahmi script, Prinsep had originally identified the "Priyadasi" of the inscriptions he found with the King of Ceylon Devanampiya Tissa. However, in 1837, George Turnour discovered an important Sri Lankan manuscript (Dipavamsa, or "Island Chronicle" ). In particular, the Sanskrit Ashokavadana ('Story of Ashoka'), written in the 2nd century, and the two Pali chronicles of Sri Lanka (the Dipavamsa and Mahavamsa) provide most of the currently known information about Ashoka. Additional information is contributed by the Edicts of Ashoka, whose authorship was finally attributed to the Ashoka. Hence, Ashoka the Great is immortal by his deed.
