 There are also stone inscriptions in Varanasi and Eran and a seal from Nalanda mentioning Budhagupta as the ruler, as well as several copperplate inscriptions.A statue of the standing Buddha found in Sarnath has a dated inscription (year 157) in the name of Budhagupta.The content is partially preserved, but essentially identical to an inscription on a second statue, made by the same donor, allowing for reconstruction.
