The epigraph division of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has decoded an ancient Sanskrit inscription, which was found on a rock outside Gilgit in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). According to ASI, the script dates back to around the 4th century CE.
According to ASI epigraphy director K Muniratnam Reddy, the inscription reads: "Pushpasingha, for the merit of his guru (name partially lost), installed a Mahesvaralinga." Shiv Pratap Singh from Rajasthan shared a photo of the inscription with ASI, which decoded it, reported The Times of India.
