Off curse epigraphy can not reveal all the things mentioned or happened with regard to a particular event. Following arguments justify the same :

1.  Some inscriptions are damaged or rusted and thus difficult to read them.

2.  The language of some inscriptions is yet to be deciphered.

3.  The meaning of the content may vary with the intentions of writer.

4.  They symbols of inscriptions may depict different things.

5.  In some inscriptions the symbols or letters are not faintly engraved which is also a limitation of epigraphy.
