The Girnar (Junagadh) rock inscriptions provide a graphic account of the great Sudarśana-taḍāka which was built by Rastriya Puṣyagupta with earthen and stone embankment during the reign of Chandragupta Maurya. It gave way before a devastating storm but was repaired by Mahākṣatrapa Rudradāman (A.D. 150). After another collapse it was repaired again in the reign of Skandagupta (Fleet, 1888, p. 56; Mehta, 1968, p. 20). A Kanheri record (2nd century) refers to the construction of a reservoir by one Seṭhi Puṇaka. - [Previous: v1.c19.s14.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s14.2) - [Next: v1.c19.s14.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s14.4) - [Up: v1.c19.s14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s14) ## Linked texts (1) - [Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.monument.udayagiri-and-khandagiri-caves) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s14.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s14.3) · Pramāṇa
