Edicts are official orders issued by people of authority. There are 14 major rock edicts, eight minor rock edicts and seven pillar edicts by which Ashoka spread his ideas. Mahamattas were appointed officials who went to different parts of the empire to spread the principles of Dhamma. Messengers were sent to different countries to spread the idea of Dhamma.
