- सोहगौडा ताम्रपट : हा ताम्रपट सोहगौडा (जिल्हा गोरखपूर, उत्तरप्रदेश) येथे सापडला. हा ताम्रपट मौर्य काळातील असावा असे मानले जाते. ताम्रपटावरील कोरीव लेख ब्राम्ही लिपीत आहे. लेखाच्या सुरुवातीस जी चिन्हे आहेत त्यातील पारासहित असलेला वृक्ष तसेच पर्वत (एकावर एक असलेल्या तीन कमानी) ही चिन्हे प्राचीन आहत नाण्यांवरही आढळतात. चार खांबांवर उभे असलेले दुमजली इमारतीप्रमाणे दिसणारे चिन्ह कोठारघरांचे निदर्शक असावेत, असे अभ्यासकांचे मत आहे. या कोठारघरांमधील धान्य जपून वापरण्यात यावे, असा आदेश त्या लेखात दिलेला आहे. दुष्काळजन्य परिस्थितीचे निवारण करण्यासाठी काय काळजी घ्यावी, या संदर्भातील हा आदेश असावा, असे मानले जाते.Read the following passage and answer the questions based on it : Sohagaura Copper-Plate : The copper-plate was found at Sohagaura (District Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh). It is supposed to be from the Mauryan period. The inscription on it is in Brahmi Script. The symbols known as 'Tree-in-railing' and 'Mountain' at the beginning of the inscription also occur on punch marked coins. Another symbol which looks like a structure erected on four pillars is supposed to be indicative of a granary. The inscription records a royal order that the grains stored in the granary should be distributed carefully. It is supposed to be suggestive of precautions taken in the times of a famine.Q4(1)सोहगौडा ताम्रपट कोणत्या काळातील असावा असे मानले जाते ?To which period does the Sohagaura copper-plate belong ?Sources of History, their Conservation and Preservation
