520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. An authoritative work, Asoka and the Decline of the Mauryas is based largely on the edicts of Asoka, whose policies are analysed against the background of Mauryan civilization during the third and fourth centuries BC. This was one of the most important periods of Indian history which saw the emergence of a pattern that throws much light on the later developments of Indian civilization. The author offers an interpretation of Asoka's connection with Buddhism and shows how he was able to make use of a general movement of social and spiritual change for the political and moral integration of his empire.
