Prayag means a meeting place for something or someone. Prayag is an ancient name of Allahabad as it is the meeting place or ‘Sangam’ of rivers Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Sarasvati. Prashasti means “in praise of someone” and is a eulogy.
Prayag Prashasti is the name given to the Allahabad Pillar. It is an Ashokan Stambh but has 4 different inscriptions.
1: The usual Ashokan inscriptions in Brahmi script as is in all pillars
2: The Queen’s edict regaling the charitable deeds of Ashoka’s wife Karuvaki
3: Samudragupta’s( 335AD – 375 AD) inscriptions written by Harisena in Sanskrit language and Brahmi script.
4: Jahangir’s inscriptions in Persian.
The pillar was originally in Kausambhi and was later moved to Allahabad by some Muslim ruler.
