The Reign of the emperor Ashoka
"Beloved of the Gods, King (Ashok), conquered the Kalingas eight years after his coronation. 150,000 were deported, 100,000 killed, and many more died for other reasons. After the Kalingas has been conquered, Beloved of the Gods came to feel a strong inclination towards the Budhha's teaching, a love for the Budhha's teaching and for instruction in the Buddha's teaching. Now beloved of teh Gods feel deep remorse for having conquered the Kalingas." From the edicts of the emperor Ashoka (304-232 BC)
