Both 1 and 2

According to a contemporary text, the Edicts of Ashoka, Ashoka converted to Buddhism because he “felt remorse on account of the conquest of Kalinga because, during the subjugation of a previously unconquered country, slaughter, death, and taking away captive of the people necessarily occur.”

The Sitadhyaksha was the superintendent of the agriculture of crown lands or government agricultural farms.
