The Deopara Prashasti is a stone inscription (prashasti) eulogizing the Sena kings of Bengal. It was composed by Umapati Dhara, a minister in the court of Lakshmana Sena (c. 1178–1206), who was also one of several court poets. The inscription particularly praises Lakshmana Sena's grandfather Vijaya Sena (c. 1095–1158).[1] The alphabet is a precursor of the modern Bengali alphabet, with 22 letters approximating the modern forms.[1][2] The stone tablet was found in 1865 near the village of Deopara, now in Godagari UpazilaofRajshahi District of modern-day Bangladesh.[1] This inscription described that Sena king Bijay Sen is the real founder of the Sena Empire.
