Ashok's Rock Edicts

Description:
On the way to Girnar, fourteen rock edicts of the Emperor Ashoka can be seen inscribed on a great boulder. The inscriptions carry Brahmi script in Pali language and dates back to 263 B.C. On the same rock are inscriptions in Sanskrit added around 150 AD by Rudradama and in about 450 AD by Skandagupta, the last emperor of the Maurya. On the way to the Girnar Hill temples, you pass a huge boulder on which Emperor Ashoka inscribed 14 edicts in around 250 BC. His inscription is in the Pali script. The 14 edicts are moral lectures, while the other inscriptions refer mainly to recurring floods destroying the embankments of a nearby lake, the Sudershan, which no longer exists. This huge rock is of uttermost importance to not only the historians and archaeologists but also to the people visiting the site.
