•As early during the reign of Kumargupta, the empire received a staggering blow at the hands of a barbaric tribe called Pushyamitra.

•A major part of the empire retained some sort of unity till the time of Budhagupta whose rule extended from bengal to eastern Malwa.

•External factors like the huna invasion stimulted the ambition of local governors.
