Legend says that one day after the war was over, Ashoka ventured out to roam the city and all he could see were burnt houses and scattered corpses.
Menurut cerita legenda, satu hari setelah peperangan usai, Asoka menjelajah kota dan yang bisa dilihat hanyalah rumah-rumah yang terbakar dan mayat-mayat yang bergelimpangan di mana-mana.
