IN00192 Hisse-Borala Inscription of Devasena
The four lined stone inscription was first published in 1963-64. It was discovered in what is considered to be a wall of ancient bricks which appear to have made a dam near the village of Hisse-Borālā. The inscription, which is dated to the reign of Devasena, contains a reference to the Śaka year 380 (i.e. A.D. 458-59), which is the earliest known reference to the Śaka era within the Vidarbha region. The inscription records the construction of a tank called Sudraśena by Svāmilladeva, an officer of Devasena.
