Emperor Ashoka ruled over the vast and diverse Mauryan empire with a centralized policy of dharma that favored peace and tolerance and that administered public works and social welfare. He likewise patronized the spread of Buddhism and art throughout the empire.
He overtook the Kalinga empire in a bloody war, converted to Buddhism, and established a capital at the city of Pataliputra.

Answer: During his reign, Emperor Asoka of Maurya accomplished moral reform due to his conversion to Buddhism. Emperor Asoka’s program of moral reform manifested itself in three ways during his reign: instilling Buddhist practices and policies on the people, instituting the Law of Piety, and following the practice of vegetarianism within the royal court.
