² Father Heras thinks (*Ann. Bhan. Ins.*, IX, p. 88) that Samudra Gupta undertook two campaigns in *Aryāvarta*. But his theory involves the assumption that Achyuta and Nāgasena were “ violently exterminated ” in the second campaign after being “ uprooted ” in the first. To obviate the difficulty he takes “ uprooted ” to mean “ defeated ”. This is, to say the least, unconvincing.
