Which of the following Gupta inscriptions provides the earliest epigraphic evidence of the practice of Sati?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Eran Stone Pillar Inscription issued during the reign of Bhanugupta in 510 CE contains the first clear epigraphic mention of a military commander's wife performing Sati. Other Gupta pillars like the Allahabad inscription of Samudragupta document military conquests and political achievements rather than this social custom.
