"the translation presented by Vincent A. Smith in Asoka:The Buddhist Emperor of India ...except for some minor emendations based
on the original Sanskrit text" (note 26, p.360).
I am very puzzled by this. I admit I have only read Jules Bloch's Les inscriptions d'Asoka, which are translated from different Prakrit
inscriptions. I wonder where did Amartya Sen find "the Sanskrit original"? Has anybody else seen it? I very much would like to see
"the original Sanskrit".
