Mahasthan Inscription

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Mahasthan Inscription

This inscription was discovered on 30th November, 1931 at Mahasthan village in Bogra district of then Bengal. It is now housed in the Indian Museum at Kolkata. The inscription has six lines written in Mauryan period Brahmi.

As the inscription talks about natural disaster like famine and superhuman acts, is there a reference to the famine which was said to have occurred during the last years of Chandragupta Maurya

  • English translation by D R Bhandarkar[1]
To Gobadam (Goberdhana) of Samvamgiyas ……. (was granted) by order. The Mahamatras from the highly auspicious Pundranagara will cause it to be carried out. (And likewise) paddy to be granted to the Samvamgiyas. The outbreak (of distress) in the town during outburst of superhuman agency shall be tiled over. When there is an excess of plenty, this granary and treasury (may be replenished) with paddy and gandaka coins.
