The Gupta emperor Candragupta II assumed the title *Vikramāditya*. His successors also assumed similar *āditya*-ending titles like *Mahendrāditya*, *Kramāditya*, etc., besides *Vikramādityo*. No name or title ending in *āditya* is known to have been assumed by any historical personage before Candragupta II, though names and titles of this type became gradually popular from the days of the Imperial Guptas.¹
