In Ashokan inscriptions, Devanampiya Piyadassi is a title used for whom?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ashoka

The direct answer is B: Devanampiya Piyadassi is a title used for Ashoka. In many Ashokan inscriptions, the ruler is described by a Prakrit form meaning “Beloved of the Gods” and “He who looks with affection” or “of gracious appearance.” For a long time, the title had to be connected with a known ruler through historical and inscriptional evidence; it is now firmly associated with Emperor Ashoka. The reasoning is: the title appears in Ashokan edicts; Ashoka issued these inscriptions; therefore the title identifies Ashoka. Option A is wrong because Kanishka was a Kushan ruler, not the ruler named by this title. Option B is correct. Option C is wrong because Samudragupta belonged to the Gupta period. Option D is wrong because Harshavardhana ruled much later and is not identified by this title. Memory cue: Devanampiya Piyadassi = Ashoka.
