Nagajari-Khanikargaon rock inscription
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nagajari-Khanikargaon rock inscription is a 5th-century land grant discovered in the Nagajari area of the Golaghat district.[1] The artifact is fragmentary, with inscriptions in Sanskrit written in the eastern variety of the Brahmi script.[2] In style, language, and script, the inscription is very similar to the Umachal and Barganga rock inscriptions. Additionally, since it betrays no influence of a local Prakrit, this inscription is often placed earlier than the Umachal rock inscription. It also indicates that Indo-Aryan culture had spread to the Golaghat region by the 5th century.[3] It is also speculated that it might belong to a different dynasty unrelated to the Varmans of Kamarupa.[4]
