Rudradaman I
The Junagadh (Girnar) rock inscription of about 150 CE was issued by the Western Kshatrapa (Saka) ruler Rudradaman I.
It is the earliest known long inscription written in chaste Sanskrit and records the repair of the Sudarshana lake, originally built during the Mauryan period.
Nahapana was an earlier Kshaharata Saka ruler, while Kanishka and Kadphises I belonged to the Kushana dynasty and are not linked to this inscription.
