The article says Samudragupta's inscription was found in "Kaushambi (present day Delhi)". This is wrong. Kausambi is near teh city of Allahabad, som 600 south-east of modern Delhi, and the inscription is now in the Allahabad fort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.32.168.30 (talk) 04:03, 4 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

The Great

edit

This for the Citation needed link near Samdrugupta in the first line. For many years everyone thinks Chandragupta Maurya grandson Asoka is considered as the GREAT.But in reality and according to sources(Kota Venkatachelam "The Plot in Indian Cronology") and many others this Asoka full name is Asokavardhan Maurya. Samudragupta is considered as Asoka the Great.Anybody can check with the sources.This may seem to idiotic but this is facts and i believe it.

Eran inscription

This section comprises mostly of verbatim text -- it should be split out into a new article. utcursch | talk 19:33, 26 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Utcursch: Is it notable enough for a standalone article? — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  21:54, 22 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Mr. Guye: It is mentioned in ~500 books, so seems to be notable. @पाटलिपुत्र: If you have some sources ready, you can create a draft -- I'll add to it. utcursch | talk 19:10, 23 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
I think the relevant question is, is there some advantage to giving it its own article, and removing it from this one, if the only content is the text of the inscription and one sentence introducing it? It seems relevant and useful here; removing it might make this article less useful. If there were more scholarship or useful information about the inscription, perhaps enough to write a couple of helpful paragraphs, then it would make more sense to split it off into its own article, and just summarize it briefly here.
