What it says
“This Garuda-standard of Vasudeva, the god of gods, was set up here by Heliodorus, a Bhagavata, son of Dion, of Takshashila, who came as Greek envoy from the great king Antialkidas to King Kasiputra Bhagabhadra, the saviour.” A second line names three immortal steps: self-restraint, renunciation and heedfulness (dama, tyaga, apramada).
It proves Vasudeva-Krishna was worshipped as the supreme god in the 2nd century BCE, and that a Greek could become a Bhagavata devotee.
