'''Tivala''' (born 3rd-century BC), also referred to as Tivara, was a son of [[Maurya]] Emperor [[Ashoka]] from his second queen, [[Karuvaki]]. He is the only son of Ashoka who is mentioned by name in his inscriptions, along with his mother, in the Queen Edict.<ref>{{cite book|last=S. N.

Tivala is the only son of Ashoka whose existence is attested by historical evidence and who was a possible successor to his father.<ref>{{cite book|last=Thapar|first=Romila|title=Aśoka and the decline of the Mauryas|year=1973|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]|page=185}}</ref> However, it seems that Tivala may have predeceased Ashoka and thus could not succeed him as Emperor. Tivala is also considered to have been a favourite child of his aging father.<ref>{{cite book|last=Arthur Smith|first=Vincent|title=Ashoka: The Buddhist Emperor of India|year=1998|publisher=Asian Educational Services|isbn=8120613031|page=220}}</ref><br />
