v2.c16.382
During the long and rather obscure reign of the next emperor Kumāragupta (413—455) also Brahmanical Hinduism was the popular religion. This is clear from the fact that Kumāra, like his grandfather, celebrated the horse sacrifice, a ritual repugnant equally to Buddhism and Jainism. Both Skandagupta (455—480) and Narasiṁhagupta Bālāditya (485—535) "continued to pay their devotions to the Hindu gods, while exhibiting, like Harsha in the seventh century, a strong personal predilection for Buddhist doctrine."\3
