Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Ashoka's religious patronage initiatives and council patronage.
Ashoka convened the Third Buddhist Council at Pataliputra (modern Patna) around 250 BCE, presided over by Moggaliputta Tissa, where the Abhidhamma Pitaka was compiled.
Verifying the historical details of the Third Buddhist Council matches standard Mauryan history facts.
2
Evaluate the roles of Mauryan administrative officers and epigraphic features.
Dhamma Mahamattas were appointed specifically for Dhamma propagation (not Rajukas, who handled rural justice/taxation). Epigraphs used multiple scripts (Kharosthi, Aramaic, Greek) depending on geography. Sannidhata was the chief treasurer.
Eliminating options with misattributed administrative titles or linguistic errors.
