Chandra-gupta II not only helped the regency administration by sending experts, but seems to have also taken active interest in the training of his young grandsons. There is a literary tradition to the effect that the poem Setubandha was composed by king Pravara-sena of Kuntala soon after his accession and was later revised by Kālidāsa. It is not unlikely that this great poet may have been one of the tutors appointed by Chandra-gupta to educate the Vākāṭaka princes.¹
