§ 94. Guptas of E. Mālwa. — This branch, which may perhaps descend in direct line through Skandagupta himself (C. CMI. p. 10), comes to an end, c. 510 A.D., or shortly after, when Mālwa was conquered by the Hūṇa Tora-māṇa. Its last princes are *Budhagupta* (inscr. dated 165 = A.D. 484, and silver coins dated 174 = A.D. 493) and *Bhānugupta* (inscr. 191 = A.D. 510). The only coins known are silver hemidrachms of Budhagupta, and these, as might naturally be expected, are of the flat central Gupta fabric (§ 91).
