¹ Cf. G. *Bühler*, ZDMG 48, p. 57 ff.; F. W. *Thomas*, JRAS 1903, p. 831 ff.; K. E. *Neumann*, WZKM 11, 1897, p. 156 ff. However, when the last named scholar (Reden Gotamo Buddhos, III, p. 41 note) speaks of Aśoka as "brought up on our texts," he is saying more than he can prove. E. *Hardy* (JRAS 1901, 314) compares Aṅgutt. III, pp. 247, 340: yena...saddhammo ciraṭṭhitiko hotī ti, with Aśoka's Bhābrū Edict: hevaṃ sa dhammo cilaṭhitiko hāsatī ti.
