{'samudragupta': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'prayag prashasti': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'accomplished sculptor': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'poetical talent': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'polished intellect': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'fine musical performances': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The Prayag Prashasti, an ancient inscription found at Allahabad, describes the achievements and attributes of Samudragupta, one of the most famous rulers of the Gupta Empire.

Option 1 states that Samudragupta had a "Sharp and polished intellect." This implies that he was intelligent and had a keen mind.

Option 2 claims that Samudragupta was an "Accomplished sculptor." However, this is not mentioned in the Prayag Prashasti. The inscription does not provide any information regarding Samudragupta`s sculpting skills.

Option 3 suggests that Samudragupta was known for his "Fine musical performances." This means that he was skilled in performing music and was appreciated for his musical talent.

Option 4 mentions that Samudragupta possessed the "Poetical talent of a genius." This implies that he had exceptional poetic abilities and was regarded as a genius in the field of poetry.

From the above options, it can be concluded that the attribute of being an "Accomplished sculptor" is not mentioned in the Prayag Prashasti. Therefore, option 2 is the correct answer.
