Kalinga war which took place in the 8th year of his reign. Even by Geiger's chronology the situation hardly improves. For, Aśoka's inscriptions supply no reference either to King Devānampiyatissa or to Mahendra. And the whole story of their relationship may be included among the several points of "palpable and irreconcilable difference between the Ceylonese Chronicles and the information supplied by Aśoka's... did not begin until after the accession of Devānampiyatissa who despatched an embassy to him and to whom Aśoka sent coronation-presents which were followed soon after by the Buddhist mission under Mahendra. As we saw, the date accepted for Devānampiyatissa's accession is, according to Geiger and his school: 247 B.C. (Smith says: "about 251 B.C.") But if five Greek princes - Antiochus, Ptolemy, Antigonus ...

Mahendra Dey, Dayanand's disciple, seeing the article wrote to me "he is the Avatar". He was very enthusiastic about it. And when there was police firing and arrests, Mahendra Dey after his imprisonment became changed and said that he was hypnotized by Dayananda. Disciple : Why are ...
... mataram! Mahendra is somewhat puzzled as he listens to this song. He does not understand what it means. Who is this ‘ sujala , suphala , malayaja sheetala , shashyashyamala ’ Mother? But Bhavananda does not answer and continues singing: Shubhra-jyotsna-pulakita-yaminim Phullakusumita-drumadalashobhinim, Suhasinim sumadhurabhasinim, Sukhadam varadam mataram. Mahendra retorts...

We have only that ‘ sujala , suphala , malayaja sheetala , shashyashyamala ’.” A surprised Mahendra then asks: “Who are you?” Bhavananda answers: “We are the children.” “Children? Whose children?” “The Mother’s children.” Let me tell you now what Rabindranath said about his own country ...
