The inscription records the restoration of a reservoir called Sudarshana Lake. 3. It is an undated inscription. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

The Junagadh Rock Inscription of Rudradaman I (c. 150 AD) is a landmark in Indian epigraphy. Statement 1 is incorrect because the inscription is written in Brahmi script and is considered the first major inscription in Classical Sanskrit, marking a shift from the earlier use of Prakrit.

Statement 2 is correct; it records the history and restoration of the Sudarshana Lake, which was originally built during the reign of Chandragupta Maurya and later repaired by Rudradaman after a storm destroyed its embankments.

Statement 3 is incorrect because it is a dated inscription, specifically mentioning the year 72 of the Shaka era (approx. 150 AD). The inscription also highlights Rudradaman's military achievements and his title 'Mahakshatrapa'.
