Sources from the past 223

This story might have appealed to early Buddhist because of the story of the caste. Yasas really cares about the castes even within monks of the Buddhist religion. Ashoka was very angry about this because you were supposed to not care about castes and only about loving each other. This appealed to many early Buddhist because much of them were from lower class and enjoyed the idea of not having your life and lifestyle automatically characterized because of what people you are born into.
