Answer 2

The correct answer is :

(d) all of these

Explanation:

1. Prashastis describes how the rulers wished to be portrayed, i.e. victors, achievers, valiant warriors, and so on. Thus the name 'Prashasti,' which means 'in praise' in Sanskrit.
2. Prashastis are metal plates (usually copper) that provide information about the ruler at the time.
3. Brahmans wrote these Prashastis in Sanskrit or another regional tongue. The information written in them may or may not be accurate.
4. Prashastis were composed from the first millennium forward, and they were written in prose or poetry.
5. A Sanskrit poem penned by Harishena in honour of King Samudragupta is an example of prashasti.
6. Harishena's prashastis tells us about the nine Aryavarta kings who were uprooted by Samudragupta.
