Detailed explanation-1: -Detailed Solution. The Correct Answer is “Junagarh inscription of Rudradaman". The inscription consists of twenty lines. The first eight lines offer a historical record of the restoration work of a reservoir named “Sudarshana Lake ‘’ which was built by the great Mauryan Ruler Chandragupta Maurya in the 4th Century BC.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are many edicts that speak about the repairs, but during 150 CE, the Sanskrit Junagadh inscription credits rudradaman. The dam on the Sudarshan lake for irrigation was constructed by Pushyagupta, the governor during the rule of Chandragupta maurya. Thus, the option 2. Pushyagupta is correct.
Detailed explanation-3: –The Junagadh rock inscription of Rudradaman which was also known as the Girnar Rock inscription is basically prose inscribed on a rock located near Girnar hill near Junagadh, Gujarat.
