Nasik inscription of Ushavadata, Ancient inscription in Nashik Caves, India
The Nasik inscription spans across the entrance of Cave No.10, featuring text carved into stone walls during the second century CE.
Created around 120 CE, this inscription records the donations and accomplishments of Ushavadata, the son-in-law of Western Satrap ruler Nahapana.
The inscription demonstrates the transition from Prakrit to Sanskrit in western India, marking a shift in linguistic practices during ancient times.
Researchers access the inscription at Cave No.10, also known as Nahapana Vihara, to study ancient Indian administrative and social structures.
This inscription documents specific donations including 300,000 cows, 16 villages, and the establishment of water stations across the region.
