What do the majority of RS use? Whatever spelling most sources use, use that spelling. Then, it would be worth noting in the article that it has been alternatively spelt elsewhere. 405: 701:
Similar to the above, consistency throughout the article with the alternate as a redirect and explained in the lede as an alternate spelling. It is less important that it's consistent throughout other wikipedia articles as long as they all link here. I went for Ashoka because a quick google count and

Per evidence presented by Cwobeel, Xrie, and SPACKlick as well as discussion consensus: Use "Ashoka" consistently throughout this and other articles. Mention alternate spelling in lede only. Move article to "Ashoka" variant (not explicitly stated but the following otherwise does not make sense) and

and the accompanying citation, also the letter from the permanent under Secretary of State which was sent out on the 11th February 1952 informing my father that he was being presented with this medal.

is what I prefer. This is the spelling most commonly used in government websites and media. The Public Information Broadcasting ministry which publishes the citations also uses this spelling. --

scan of sources seemed to favour Ashoka Chakra slightly (about 6/13 Ashok and 7/13 Ashoka although this gap would widen if you ignore all the sources quoting the Knowledge (XXG) Article).

AFAIK, Ashoka is the Sanskrit pronunciation, while Ashok is the Hindi pronunciation. Stick with one as per SPACKlick above. -

Should one spelling be chosen over the other? What is the proper course of action for purposes of Knowledge (XXG) articles?
