Correct Answer: Ashoka
Solution : The Correct Answer is Ashoka
Emperor Ashoka of the Maurya dynasty served as the patron for this endeavor. At Pataliputra, it took place in 250 BC. Mogaliputta Tissa served as the council's chairman. The Edicts of Ashoka never mention the chamber's notice, so this is already disputed. According to legend, the purpose of the Third Buddhist Council was to extricate the Sangha from debasement caused by enemies who had infiltrated the Sangha under the guise of allies as well as priests who held blasphemous viewpoints.
