Which of the following rock-cut edicts of Ashoka mentions the welfare measures taken by him, including the provision of medical treatment for both men and animals?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Major Rock Edict II of Emperor Ashoka explicitly outlines philanthropic measures including medical treatment setups for humans and animals across his empire and frontier regions. Other edicts focus on different administrative policies or religious tolerance principles rather than animal and human welfare infrastructure. Ashoka's edicts provide primary epigraphic evidence of his administrative philosophy derived from Dhamma.
