version, but compensates for them by two seperate edicts (id., p. 219). These two he edited with a tentative translation (id., p. 438 ff.). adding Kittoe's lithograph of the whole Dhauli inscription (id. plate 10). As may be seen on this plate, ihe inscription is arranged in columns. The middle column contains I to VI, and the right column edicts VII to X and XIV, and below them, within a border of straight lines, the second seprate edict, while the first seperate edict, occupies the whole of the left column.
Cunningham13 showed that it would be more correct to exchange the two designations, first and second seperate edict, : the seperate edict engraved in continution of edict XIV ought to be called No. I, and the one engraved seperately on the left No. II. This order is confirmed by the Jaugada rock (No. VIP, bellow) where Princep's No. II is actually placed above No I. But as all editors (beside Kern) have followed princep's arrangement, a change of numbers would now lead to much confusion, and it will be sufficient to keep in mind that the seperate edict No. I was engraved after No. VI”.
Barnauf4 reedited and translated the two seperate edicts and Kern (JRAS, 1880. 379 ff) did the same of Cunnigham's copies. Senert's edition was almost based on Burgess and the same was done by Bühler in his Dhauli verson. He published it in German (ZDMG, 39.489 ff., and 41. 1 ff) and English (ASSI, 1. 114 ff.)
Like Dhauli, there are also fourteen Rock edicts of Jaugada of Asokan Inscription and here also, the eleventh, twelvth and thirteenth have not been recorded in the edition of Hultzsch. Jaugada has two seperate rock edicts, they are First seperate rock edict and Second seperate rock edict by name.
Jaugada the duplicate of Dhauli edicts, has been discovered from the ruined fort of Jaugada in the Berhampur tāluka, of the Ganjam District, Orisa, on the northern bank of the Rishikulya river.
The inscribed rock "is situated in what appears to have once been an extensive but now deserted town, surrounded by the debris of a lofty wall”.
"The rock is part of a large mass of rock or rocks, rising to various heights, and covering a large space of ground, I should say many thousand square yards”:15
“The Jaugaļa inscriptions are written on three different tablets on the vertical face of the rock”.
“The first tablet contained the first five edicts, but about one half has been utterly lost by the peeling away of the rock”.
