In the Gupta period by the order of Skandagupta, Chakrapalit rebuilt the lake. Skandagupta spent money with great generosity and got a dam built on this lake.

The Junagarh inscription of Rudradaman which is of Shak Samvat 72 (150-151 AD) gives information about the history of the Sudarshan lake, which is as follows-

Saurashtra lake was built by Pushyagupta the provincial ruler of Chandragupta Maurya. Ashoka’s governor Tushak, later drew a canal from it.

During the time of Rudradaman, the lake dam was broken due to excessive rainfall. Repaired it. This was done by Suvishakh, the provincial ruler of Rudradaman. No additional tax on people.
