Important Discoveries in the recent past Haryana

TWO BRAHMI INSCRIPTIONS, ROHTAK, DISTRICT ROHTAK

These inscriptions are engraved on the rim of the stone troughs preserved in the Archaeological Museum, Department of History, M.D. University, Rohtak. They were found from Kokrakot in Rohtak district. These inscriptions are in Prakrit language and Brahmi characters of about the 2nd century A.D. Both of them are worn out and record the gift of a stone trough each on which they are engraved. The first inscription records the gift by ddhachubema, a merchant (vaniyaka) probably hailing from Kathayakataya. The second inscription also registers the gift by a person (name not clear) along with the Chatudasa samgha probably for the merit of his parents.
