A It promotes non violence and ahimsa.
B It promotes victory through dharma or the right path.
C It promotes peace, harmony and prosperity.
The Kalinga war brought about a sea change in Ashoka's viewpoint. He became a Dharmavijay from a Dikvijay. A Dharmavijaya is one who clings to dharma as the path of righteous. A Dharmavijaya promotes teachings on ahimsa and victory through the right path. It also promotes peace, harmony and prosperity.
