Detailed Solution

The given statement is True.
One of the greatest kings in history was Ashoka. The nation that Ashoka ruled was founded by his ancestor Chandragupta Maurya more than 2300 years ago. On both pillars and rock surfaces, he wrote instructions and messages. The lions that appear on our currency (notes and coins) have a lengthy history. They were cut out of stone at Sarnath and set atop a large pillar. The Maurya dynasty consisted of Chandragupta, Bindusara, and Ashoka, the son of Bindusara. A wise man backed Chandragupta by the name of Chanakya or Kautilya. Many of Chanakya's ideas can be found in a book called the Arthashastra.
