Translate into the vernacular specified in your application :(a) Asoka attached the greatest importance to the atmost possible promptitude in the administration of justice, and to the readiness of the sovereign to hear complaints at all times and in all places. His views would still meet with general approval from the natives of India, who prize very highly readiness of access to their rulers and set no value whatever upon regularity of procedure. Asoka announced to his people that he was ready at any place and at any hour of the day or night to receive and redress complaints. No more popular announcement could be made by an Indian sovereign, although to the Western mind it seems unpractical. When Asoka adds to the announcement the emphatic declaration- I am never satisfied with the adequacy of my exertions or the promptitude of my decision of cases. Work I must for the the public benefit, and the object of all my exertion is simply to discharge my debt to living beings, so that I may make some of them happy in this world, and that hereafter they may attain heaven'-he is entitled to be believed.

One of them had a very noble air and graceful deportment; her beauty was natural, her person clean and unspotted, her eyes were cast towards the ground with an agreeable reserve, her movements 20 and behaviour full of modesty, and her raiment as white as snow. The other had a great deal of health and beauty in her countenance; she endeavoured to appear more than usually graceful in her mien. She cast her eyes upon herself and then turned them on those that were present to see how they liked her, and she often looked on the figure she made in her shadow. 2.
