Note 289 — LAW AND JUDICATURE.
W. A. (William Austin) Montriou translation
Lassen, in his Indische Alterthumskunde (vol. 2, p. 238), speaking of the edicts of king Asoca (B. C. 250), which refer to páshaṇḍas, describes these as a sect who disbelieved alike in the bráhmiṇical and buddhist tenets. We have, in sloka 70, rendered the word 'infidels.'
