1977 characters, new enough, sources okay, but the only problem is the hook. The sources presented says that the edicts mentions the aspects of the dharma law, and not of the dharma. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 10:25, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. I've fixed it in the article as well as added to hook. Is it okay now? :) TheSpecialUser TSU 10:29, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- The word Dharma itself means law/righteous law/natural law in Sanskrit, the source states 'Asoka's dharma or righteous law'. Anyways, the hook was nominated before I got a chance to tweak it, I prefer the Kharosthi script version over the dharma version below;

for original hook. Just for your information, her dharma means the Dhamma of the Buddhist sect of Hinduism, and since all of Ashoka's manuscripts were written in the common language, mostly Pali, here dharma means the teachings of Buddha. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 17:21, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
