History has many faces.Every historian has a different perspective.About Ashoka's wives,historical accounts differ about who was his favourite wife.
Some sources claim that it was Devi,his first wife and mother of Mahendra and Sanghamitra.
Other sources claim that it was Karuvaki,the second wife to whom the Queen Edict is named.
Still other sources name Asandhimitra,the fourth wife who was only one to be addressed as the Empress and an important partner in all his endeavours.
Most of the sources that I have studied till now refer to Karuvaki and Asandhimitra as the two women who mattered to him the most.
Popular culture has ignored Asandhimitra and has promoted Karuvaki and Devi.Devi is significant because she was his first wife.Historically Asandhimitra was more important than Devi was.
As far as my personal opinion is concerned,then I believe that Ashoka loved Karuvaki,considered Asandhimitra as his closest friend and respected Devi.
