Answer Posted / shonit
The magnitude of destruction in terms of life and property
filled Asoka's heart with remorse. The grief that he saw in
the eyes of the victims/survivors of Kalinga war and the
wails of mourning that filled up the entire atmosphere
struck a radical change in Asoka's outlook. He sheathed his
sword for good and eschewed the poliy of digvijaya (victory
by war) and adopted that of dharmavijaya (victory by
religion). This was the turning point in Asoka's life which
completely transformed him, Thereafter, he set out on his
journey of spreading the message of Buddha through dharma
and initiated the process of erecting the rock edicts which
mentioned all of his activities towards this end.
