General KnowledgeHistory of India
- ASharp and polished intellect
- BAccomplished sculptor
- CFine musical performances
- DPoetical talent of a genius
Explanation
The Prayag Prashasti, composed by Harishena, praises Samudragupta's sharp and polished intellect, his fine musical performances (he is depicted playing the veena on his coins) and his poetical talent of genius. It does not describe him as an accomplished sculptor. The attribute that was NOT ascribed to him is therefore 'accomplished sculptor', option (B).
