The Early History of the Deccan (Parts I–XI) v1.c8.s7.10

v1.c8.s7.10

The misfortunes of Prabhāvatiguptā did not end with the death of her husband. For Divākarasena, her eldest son, also died before attaining his majority and ascending the throne, some time after the 13th year of the regency of his mother.¹ This heavy domestic affliction added to the grief of Prabhāvatiguptā and increased the duration of her regency. Her younger son Dāmodarasena then became the crown prince and eventually ascended the throne when he came of age in *c.* A.D. 410 as Pravarasena II.
