Prashastis are eulogistic accounts of palace artists who use to composed the writings in praise of kings and their patrons. These accounts are bi9ased and lacking the facts due to the influence of the kings, whereas kalhana's Rajatarangini is estimated to be the first authentic record in a contemporary sense, as the book exhibits a clear picture of ancient Kashmir and had no links with government life, whereas prashastis do not exhibit a picture of social life and cannot be considered authentic.
