This poem is more powerful than a hundred poems that may be written against violence. An emperor who was shaken from head to foot by the sad spectacle of what he witnessed on the war front after the battle, resolves to stop all violence against man. Kalinga war was a turning point in his life. We see the transformation of a man who regretted his action and saw utter defeat in victory. History there after is replete with stories of what he did to atone his sins and beautify the lives of thousands of his subjects and their progeny! Enjoyed!
