The oldest known Sanskrit inscription is the "Ayodhya Inscription" dated to around the 4th century CE. However, the oldest Sanskrit inscription specifically associated with a Brahmin and Holi (Holika Dahan) day is not well-documented in historical sources.
Can you provide some hints ?

Isn't oldest Sanskrit inscription from Mittani empire?
That isn't in pure Sanskrit but Indo Aryan language, different from Vedic or classical sanskrit
However this inscription isn't the oldest Sanskrit inscription found, I was just asking about the inscription composed on Holi day

Ayodhya inscription is definitely not the oldest inscription in Sanskrit (in fact even that Dhana doesn't date to 4th century CE but 1st or 2nd Century CE)
There are older inscriptions like Hathibada inscription and Nanheghat inscriptions dating to 1st-2nd century BCE
This is not that inscription, comparatively later than the above two (only slightly) during the Yavana era and is related to demarcate a well and a tank
is it the hathibada-ghosundhi inscription of chittaurgarh?? Not sure about the holika part but it does talk about vaishnavism
It isn't by a Brahmin, nor inscribed on the Holika dehen day

The inscription is the Yavanarajya inscription of Nashik. This inscription dates back to the 2nd century CE and is known for mentioning the celebration of Holi (Holika Dahan). It was inscribed by a Brahmin and is associated with the construction of a well.
