Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Ashoka became one of the greatest rulers known to history and got his ideas and teachings carved on pillars and rock surfaces which are still appreciated. The lions stamped on present-day Indian currency come from pillars carved on the instructions of Ashoka. The empire that Ashoka ruled was the Mauryan empire, founded by his grandfather Chandragupta Maurya more than 2300 years ago. Chanakya (also known as Kautilya) was a wise economist who supported Chandragupta. He wrote his ideas in a book called the Arthashastra.To make kingdoms into empires, emperors needed more resources than kings to control vast territory and install big armies to protect it. Emperors levied various taxes and appointed officials to collect them.
The correct statement is Ashoka ruled the Mauryan empire.
