மறப்பினும் ஓத்துக் கொளலாகும் பார்ப்பான் பிறப்பொழுக்கங் குன்றக் கெடும். (குறள் - 134) விளக்கம் கற்றதை மறந்தாலும் மீண்டும் ஓதிக் கற்றுக் கொள்ளலாம்; ஆனால், வேதமோதுவான் பிறப்பால் வந்த உயர்வு, அவன் ஒழுக்கம் குன்றினால் கெடும்

Ashokar Buddhist According to Ashokavadana, the Mauryan emperor Ashoka issued an order to kill all the Ajivikas (follower of nāstika or "heterodox" schools of Indian philosophy) in Pundravardhana after a non-Buddhist there drew a picture showing the Gautama Buddha bowing at the feet of Jain tirthankar(ajivikars are not jains). Around 18,000 followers of the Ajivika sect were said to have been executed as a result of this order
Saṅghamittā (282 BC - 203 BC) was an Indian Buddhist nun and believed to be the eldest daughter (Sri Lankan Tradition) of Emperor Ashoka (304 BC - 232 BC) and his first wife and Empress, Devi (302 BCE - 242 BCE).
Together with her brother Mahinda, she entered an order of Buddhist monks. The two siblings later went to Sri Lanka to spread teachings of Buddha at the request of King Devanampiya Tissa (250 BC - 210 BC) who was a contemporary of Ashoka.
Ashoka was initially reluctant to send his daughter (Sri Lankan Tradition) on an overseas mission. However, because of the insistence of Sangamitra herself, he finally agreed.
She was sent to Sri Lanka together with several other nuns to start the nun-lineage of Bhikkhunis (a fully ordained female Buddhist monastic) at the request of King Tissa to ordain queen Anulā and other women of Tissa's court at Anuradhapura who desired to be ordained as nuns after Mahindra converted them to Buddhism
