The Mahabodhivansa Grath also gives proof of Mauryas being Kshatriyas. There is only one book in which Mauryas were called Shudras. Vrishal means dharmabhrasht that is, one who cannot follow his religion. Chandragupta Maurya was called Vrishal because he left Hinduism and converted to Jainism. Saying that only by adopting Jainism, Maurya Shudra cannot be done.

Early life and career of Samrat Ashoka: The Mahavamsa and Divyavadana tell the story that after the death of Bindusara Maurya, there was a severe fight for the throne among the sons of Bindusara for a period of four years. Ashoka was involved in it. Ashoka waded through the blood of his brothers to the throne.
But this story regarding early struggle of Samrat Ashoka is not credible and no clear evidence is available. Further, Samrat Ashoka has shown care for his family and brothers in the rock edicts. However, it is likely that had been a contest among the sons of Bindusara in which Ashoka managed to ascend to the throne.
He successfully suppressed a rebellion of the Taxilan people. He ascended the throne after the death of his father. She became a favorite of her husband Bindusara. Samrat Ashoka Maurya had several wives and children. Traditonal sources mentions the names of Kaurwaki, Devi, Padmavati, Tishyaraksha, etc. Kaurwaki was the mother of Prince Tivala. Religious Tolerance: Samrat Ashoka was tolerant to other creeds during the major part of his reign.
Asoka knew that religious partiality would weaken the social basis and unity of the Mauryan Empire. Hence he practiced toleration to all creeds during the major part of his reign. Asoka as a ruler before embracing of Buddhism: We shall now see how Samrat Ashoka Maurya behaved himself as a king before he embraced Buddhism. It is generally believed by scholars that Samrat Ashoka was a follower of Brahmanism before his conversion to Buddhism after the Kalinga war. In this fight, Ashoka succeeded and became the third Mourya emperor.
Actually, Bimbisara wanted his son Sushima to succeed him, but Ashoka was supported by the ministers. The coronation happened in BCE, four years after his succession to the throne. At the beginning, his attitude was wicked, cruel and bad temper.
One day he wanted to know the loyalty of his ministers and ordered them to chop down all the flowers and fruit trees, but to leave the thorn trees alone. Then the ministers questioned his orders. Ashoka got rage and cut off the heads of five hundred Ministers.
He also kept a harem of around women. When a few women insulted him, Ashoka moved very furious and put all the women into burnt to death. He also built a hell chamber which was used for horrific tortures.
So all called him Chand Ashoka means Ashoka the fierce. His empire spread from present-day Pakistan and Afghanistan in the west, to the present-day Bangladesh and the Indian state of Assam in the east, and northern Kerala and Andhra Pradesh in the east. He conquered the kingdom named Kalinga, which is not possible from his father Bimbisara and grandfather Chandragupta Maurya, starting from Chandragupta Maurya dynasty.
His reign was headquartered in Magadha present-day Bihar. He embraced Buddhism after witnessing the mass deaths of the Kalinga War. The brutal scenes were disheartened Ashoka against the wars. The lamented situations in the war made Ashoka change his attitude towards the imperialism. He saw the dead bodies without heads. The despair and loss of innocent people live filled his heart with deep sorrow and regret. The lamentation of the wives and women of the dead, the tears of the children, the terrifying sufferings of the dying soldiers, all had changed his heart and mind.
