| 520 | |a An English translation of the Asokavadana text, the Sanskrit version of the legend of King Asoka, first written in the second century A.D.

Through an extensive critical essay and a fluid translation, John Strong examines the importance of the Asoka of the legends for our overall understanding of Buddhism.Originally published in 1984.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
