(give reason)harshvardhan was a great doner.
Answers
Explanation:
Harshavardhana was an able ruler and administrator. His administration was modeled with charity, generosity, and public service. He followed the example of Samudragupta and became a practical man.
His royal decree ran from Kashmir to Assam and from Gujarat to Orissa making him the supreme sovereign of Northern India.
After the decline of the Gupta empire the Northern India was in a stage of disintegration. Several small and independent states sprang up into prominence and remained busy in internecine quarrels.
In this political situation Harshavardhan was responsible for maintaining political stability in the greater part of the Northern India for nearly half a century. Unfortunately Harsha could not leave behind any able successor and therefore his mighty empire collapsed like a house of cards immediately after his death.

The detail accounts of the Chinese pilgrim Hieun Tsang throw a good deal of light on the political, social and religious conditions of the time. The narratives open a store house of reliable information. The Harshacharita written by Bana who lived at the court of Harsha is generally recognized as a historical document to throw a flood of light on the political, social and religious condition of India during his time. Harsha himself was a writer of high standard.
His three valuable works named ‘Ratnavali’, ‘Priyadarsika’ and ‘Nagananda’ written in Sanskrit reveal his literary flare. These books also throw sufficient light on the history of Harsha’s period. There are three inscriptions— Madhuban Plate, Sonepat plate and the Bankkhera inscription which are immensely valuable. The Madhuban plates speak much on the family of Harsha and Sonepat plates discloses the names and reign of many kings of the dynasty. The Bankkhera inscription confirms that Harsh was an efficient ruler and artsman. Coins of Harsha give adequate reliable information of his reign. He distributed thousands of such coins in the Prayag Council.
