The legends on most of the historical seals are in Brāhmī and its derivatives, only a few being in Kharoṣṭhī. The legends on pre-Kushan seals are mostly in Prakrit, and those on the later ones in Sanskrit. - [Previous: v1.c8.s2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c8.s2.3) - [Next: v1.c8.s2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c8.s2.5) - [Up: v1.c8.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c8.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c8.s2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c8.s2.4) · Pramāṇa
