In the third century B.C. ruled the first benevolent despot of India, King Asoka. His greatest monument was the spread of Buddhism. His was the influence that fostered the sensuous and intricate reliefs of Sancni, the elegant simplicity of the crystal reliquaries and the sublime sculpture of the Sarnath Buddha.
Robert Erskine tells of Asoka and the beginnings of Buddhism from Sanchi in Central India.
