Parvati and Lakshman - siblings- in spite of living in Patliputra, have never got a chance to catch a glimpse of Maharaja Ashok. They were very keen to see him. One day when they went to Buddha Vihar to give earthen pots, one Budha monk tells them that they will see one important personality in Vihar itself. Instead of that important personality, they met one gentle friend who assures them that they will definitely see Maharaja Ashok. Just listen to this story from Maurya Empire to know what happened further.
