Solution and Explanation
Emperor Ashoka, the grandson of Chandragupta, was with his father during his death. After the death of Chandragupta, 24 years later, Ashoka ascended the throne. Ashoka was greatly distressed by the disgrace of his actions, and he also had a great love for the art of warfare. After ascending the throne, he marched to Kalinga. If he won this war, he left behind a great legacy in exchange. In this war, millions of people died and many others were wounded, and a large number died from illness. Witnessing this, Ashoka's heart was transformed. He grew to detest war. He never fought again and dedicated his entire life to living humbly.

“I put the brown paper in my pocket along with the chalks, and possibly other things. I suppose every one must have reflected how primeval and how poetical are the things that one carries in one’s pocket: the pocket-knife, for instance the type of all human tools, the infant of the sword. Once I planned to write a book of poems entirely about the things in my pocket. But I found it would be too long: and the age of the great epics is past.” (From G.K. Chesterton’s “A Piece of Chalk”)
