Which of the following deities is not mentioned in the Naneghat cave inscription of the Satavahana queen Naganika ?
Answer: B
The deity not mentioned is Rudra.
The Naneghat cave inscription of Queen Naganika (Nayanika), widow of Satakarni I, opens with invocations to Dharma, Indra, Sankarshana and Vasudeva, the Moon and the Sun, and the guardians of the quarters such as Yama, Varuna and Kubera, and it records the Vedic sacrifices performed by the royal family.
Vasudeva, Sankarshana and Indra are therefore all named. Rudra is not among the deities invoked.
