His personal name ‘Ashoka’ is explicitly mentioned in only a few edicts.
The Minor Rock Edict I found at Maski (in Karnataka) is one of the edicts where the name ‘Ashoka’ is clearly inscribed along with the title ‘Devanampiya Piyadassi’.
Other edicts mentioning ‘Ashoka’ include Gurjara, Udegolam, and Nittur.
