Answer 1

Answer:

Chandragupta I was succeeded by his son Samudragupta (A.D. 335–375).Samudragupta was among the greatest rules of Gupta empire and it was under his rule that Gupta period came to be called the Golden Age. Samudragupta followed a policy of conquest and enormously enlarged his kingdom. His achievements are recorded in a long inscription engraved on a pillar at Allahabad ,written in pure Sanskrit by his court poet Harisena. It enumerates the people and the regions conquered by Samudragupta.

The inscriptions state that Samudragupta adopted a different policy for different areas conquered by him as situations and circumstances required such a different approach.

In the North, in Ganga-Yamuna doab, he followed a policy of conquest and annexation of territories, i.e Digvijaya. He defeated nine naga rulers and incorporated their kingdoms in the Gupta empire.
