Inscriptions: Inscriptions are writing engraved on hard surfaces like metal, rock and stone. The study of inscriptions is called epigraphy. The long poems in praise of kings are called prashasti. Since prashasti were normally written by court poets appointed by the kings they may not always be factually accurate. Copper plates inscriptions often record land grants by the rich to temples. They also record the achievement of the kings.
