c9.s2.t6.5

Among recent discoveries of Gupta inscriptions, the Vidiśā image inscriptions of the time of Rāmagupta (CII 3, rev. ed., 231–4) are extremely important in supporting the historicity of Rāmagupta, previously known only from literary sources as the elder brother of Candragupta II. Other recent finds include new inscriptions from the reign of the late Gupta king Budhagupta from Mathurā (JESI 9, 6–11) and Śaṅkarpur (JESI 4, 62–66).
