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 - [Previous: c16.s2.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c16.s2.31) - [Next: c16.s2.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c16.s2.33) - [Up: c16.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c16.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c16.s2.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c16.s2.32) · Pramāṇa
