History of Mediaeval Hindu India (being a History of India from 600 to 1200 A.D.) v1.c7.s2.3

v1.c7.s2.3

Three generations of the Guptas Kumāra, Dāmodara and Mahāsena are explicitly said in the Aphsad inscription to have fought with three generations of the Maukharis, Īśāna, Śarva and Susthita; the first two names of which we find in the Ashirgad seal inscription of Śarva also. Ādityavarmā is said, in the seal, to have married Harsha Guptā, and she appears to have been a sister of the contemporaneous Harsha Gupta. Mahāsena Gupta must be taken to have lived long or Susthita to have a short reign, hence his generation covers two of the Varmās which is not improbable, Grahavarmā and Mādhava Gupta, son of Mahāsena being contemporaneous with and almost of the same age as Harsha.
