Solution
The statement is False.
Explanation:
Not Gautamiputra Shri Satakarni, but Samudragupta, was the object of Harishena's prashasti. The Satavahana period inscriptions, especially the one from Nashik authored by his mother, Gautami Balashri, provide insight into Gautamiputra Shri Satakarni's achievements.
