    Explanation:

    Devanampriya, also Devanampiya, was a Pali honorific epithet used by a few Indian monarchs, but most particularly the Indian Emperor Ashoka in his inscriptions. "Devanampriya" means "Beloved of the Gods". Piyadasi or Priyadarshi, was an honorific epithet in ancient India, which means "He who regards others with kindness", "Humane", "He would glances amiably".The identification of Devanampiya with Ashoka was confirmed by an inscription discovered in 1915 by C. Beadon, a British gold-mining engineer, at Maski, a village in Raichur district of Karnataka. Another minor rock edict, found at the village Gujarra in Datia district of Madhya Pradesh, also used the name of Ashoka together with his titles: "Devanampiya Piyadasi Asokaraja".
