Answer 2

hey mate,

here is your answer,

Prashasti is an inscription of a special kind.Prashasti is a sanskrit word meaning in praise of. Emperor Samudragupta's prashasti praised the king in glowing terms."As a warrior,as a king who won victories in battle who was learned and the best of poets.He is also described as equal to God".

According to Salomon, the inscription "represents a turning point in the history of epigraphic Sanskrit. This is the first long inscription recorded entirely in more or less standard Sanskrit, as well as the first extensive record in the poetic style. Although further specimens of such poetic prasastis in Sanskrit are not found until the Gupta era, from a stylistic point of view Rudradaman's inscription is clearly their prototype".

EXAMPLES:

→Nashik prashasti (2nd century CE), Satavahana dynasty

→Prayaga prashasti (4th century CE), Gupta dynasty: Lists the rulers against whom the Gupta king Samudragupta fought. It also describes the policy that he followed toward each set of rulers.

→Velvikudi inscription (c. 8th century CE), Pandya dynasty

→Deopara Prashasti (12th century CE), Sena dynasty
