Question

This remorseful Mauryan emperor embraced Buddhism after a terrible battle

Answer 1

I believe it was Ashoka. I'm sorry if this is wrong, but this is what I could find.

Answer 2

Asoka-The Great.

Step-by-step explanation:

Asoka-The Great was the remorseful Mauryan Emperor who embraced Buddhism after a terrible battle (Kalinga War). In 261 BC, Asoka invaded the state of Kalinga and defeated its ruler. This was one of the bloodiest wars of Indian history. The bloodshed in the war prompted Asoka to adopt Buddhism. He shunned the policy of war and now adopted the policy of Dhamma (morality).
