Devanampiya Piyadassi

The correct answer is Option (4) → Devanampiya Piyadassi

n his inscriptions, Ashoka often referred to himself as “Devanampiya Piyadassi”, which means “Beloved of the Gods, He who looks on with affection”. This title was used instead of his personal name and reflected both his royal status and his moral authority as a ruler committed to dharma.
