§ 32. Up to the reign of Skanda Gupta there were some Nāga feudatories, as Skanda Gupta is described to have dealt severely with a Nāga rebellion.¹ Chandra Gupta II married a Nāga princess, Kubera-Nāgā, who was mahādevī and the mother of Prabhāvati Guptā, and, if not identical with Dhruva-Devī, was probably the second wife of Chandra Gupta. A Nāga family of feudatories in Koṭā, Rajputana, is found in the Middle Ages.² The Nāgavaṁśī families of the Bastar inscriptions, published by Rai Bahadur Hira Lal, descend very likely from the Nāgas of the Central Provinces who have left a memorial to their name in the place-namee Nāgpur³ and Nagar(var)-dhana, and are the probable remnants of the Bhāraśiva occupation.
