Detailed Solution

Harishena composed the Allahabad inscription. He wrote it almost 1700 years ago. He was Samudragupta's court poet, and he etched a large inscription on the Ashokan pillar at Allahabad. The majority of Samudragupta's history was known thanks to the Allahabad inscription. Prashasti is a Sanskrit term for a eulogy. The prashasti of any ruler was written by court poets to commemorate their victories and kingdom expansion. The Allahabad pillar also lauded the monarch as a warrior who had won many battles.
