Answer:
The inscription mentions Chandragupta II, and is the earliest from the Gupta era that can be confidently established.The inscription mentions two Shaiva gurus found in historic texts of Pashupata Shaivism, namely Upamita and Kapila. It adds that the donor Uditacarya added memorials to both preceptors in an ayatana (temple shrine), thus providing a 4th-century floruit to shrines for gurus.The Lakulisha inscription is also notable for its mention of puja of teachers, because their "souls approximated Shiva after death", states Willis. This is one of the constant and historic premises of moksha (liberation) in yogic Shaivism. This idea and spiritual goal, according to Willis, is also found midst early Vaishnavism.
