Which of the following Gupta inscriptions mentions Krishna and Devaki ?

  • A.Allahabad pillar inscription of Samudragupta
  • B.Bhitari pillar inscription of Skandagupta
  • C.Eran stone pillar inscription of Budhagupta
  • D.The Mehrauli iron pillar inscription

Answer: B

Following the official key, the Bhitari pillar inscription of Skandagupta mentions Krishna and Devaki, in a verse comparing the king and his mother to them.

The Allahabad pillar inscription praises Samudragupta's conquests, the Eran pillar inscription of Budhagupta records a Vishnu pillar, and the Mehrauli iron pillar inscription concerns a king named Chandra. They are not the ones that name Krishna and Devaki.

This is a factual recall item, so the keyed option is identified by matching the person, text, date or term in the stem, and each remaining option fails that match for the reason given above.
