The Early History of India, from 600 B.C. to the Muhammadan Conquest, including the Invasion of Alexander the Great c29.144

c29.144

Narasimhagupta was succeeded by his son, Kumāragupta II, to whose time the fine seal of alloyed silver found at Bhitarī in the Ghāzīpur District belongs.¹ According to the chronology here followed, Kumāragupta II must have been very young when he came to the throne, and cannot have reigned for more than a year or two, in view of the fact that a prince named Budhagupta is acknowledged in a Sārnāth image inscription as the reigning sovereign in A. D. 476. The dominions of Kumāragupta II, like those of his father and grandfather, were evidently restricted to the eastern provinces of the empire of his earlier ancestors.
