Mathura is most famous for its association with Vasudeva-Krsna, an
important deity of the Hindu pantheon. In ancient times, however,
this site contributed towards the production of exquisite pieces of
sculpture, inscriptions, and terracottas associated with Buddhism,
Jainism, and the Naga and Yaksa traditions as well. The literature
and art inspired by these traditions make the religious landscape
of Mathura a fascinating subject of study. Before Krsna is one such
work that entails an epigraphic analysis of Mathura from the early
historical till the early medieval period. It examines the content
of inscriptions from Mathura, correlates it with other
archaeological and literary sources, and assesses the available
data in the context of the social, political, and economic
processes underway in the Indian subcontinent at that time. This
monograph not only provides the reader a taste of Mathura's
religious diversity and plurality over time, but is also relevant
for understanding the history of specific religious traditions and
the threads of interaction between them.
