In times past kings used to set out on pleasure-tours.  

On these (tours) hunting and other such pleasures were (enjoyed).  

But when king Devānāṁpriya Priyadarśin (me) had been anointed ten years, he went to Saṁbodhi.

Their pleasure-tours vs Devānāṁpriya Priyadarśin's Sambodhi. Because Devānāṁpriya Priyadarśin is different.

Here no living being must be killed and sacrificed.

And no festival meeting must be held.  

For king Devānāṁpriya Priyadarśin sees much evil in festival meetings.

But there are also some festival meetings which are considered meritorious by king Devānāṁpriya Priyadarśin 🤔

Formerly in the kitchen of king Devānāṁpriya Priyadarśin (me) many hundred thousands of animals were killed daily for the sake of curry. 

But now, when this rescript on morality is written, only three animals are being killed (daily) for the sake of curry, (viz.) two peacocks (and) one deer, (but) even this deer not regularly. 

Even these three animals shall not be killed in future. 

[piyadasilaja]

These rescripts on morality have been caused to be written by king Devānāṁpriya Priyadarśin (me) either in an abridged (form) or at full length.  

For the whole was not suitable everywhere.  

For (my) dominions are wide, and much has been written, and I shall cause still (more) to be written.  

But (some) of this has been stated again and again because of the charm of certain topics, (and) in order that men should act accordingly.  

But some of this may have been written incompletely, either on account of the locality, or because (my) motive was not liked, or by the fault of the writer.
