Harishena was the 4th-century Sanskrit poet. He was an important figure in the court of Gupta emperor, Samudragupta. Prayag Prashasti, is attributed to the 4th century CE Gupta emperor Samudragupta. It is in excellent Sanskrit, written in the more refined Gupta script by the poet and minister, Harishena. The inscription is a panegyric praising Samudragupta and lists the political and military achievements of his reign including his expeditions to the south. It provides a unique snapshot of the Gupta Empire and its neighbours and is the source of much of what is known of the geopolitical landscape of that era.
