Chandragupta I selected Samudragupta as his successor considering him as the most worthy son (Arya). This decision was publicly announced in an open assembly of the King’s counselors who accepted the selection with satisfaction.

After the announcement Chandragupta I instructed the Crown prince “Protective this earth”.

From this as mentioned in the Allahabad pillar inscription some scholars concluded that there were other sons of Chandragupta who aspired to the throne and therefore the accession of Samudragupta was disputed. He ruled the empire for long forty years and died in 375 AD.
