### [v1.c21.87](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.87)

It is said in the Divyāvadāna²⁴ that Bindusāra's empire included Takkasilā. There was once a rebellion there and Asoka was sent to quell it. From the minor Rock Edict II. of Asoka it would appear that Takkasilā was the headquarters of a provincial government at Gandhāra, placed under a Kumāra or Viceroy. A rebellion broke out there again in the time of Asoka, who sent his son Kuṇāla to settle it.
