Samudragupta (r. c. 335 – c. 375 –  CE) was the fourth ruler of the Gupta Empire and the son and successor of Chandragupta I. His rule was one of expansion marked first by the conquest of his immediate neighbours and then by campaigns to the east and the south where chiefdoms and kingdoms were subdued and forced to pay tribute to him. Much of the knowledge of Samudragupta's military exploits comes from the Allahabad Pillar of Ashoka which includes a prashasti (a eulogy) extolling the deeds and virtues of the Gupta emperor.


arjunnani: are u needed neat
bachan82: ya but only for 3 marks
arjunnani: Kk dear I will give u now
arjunnani: Samudragupta adopted strategic plans for his conquests of the north and the south. He decided to subdue the neighbouring Kingdoms first before going for distant expeditions. His conquest against Aryavarta was his first campaign. He then dashed against Dakhinapatha and in the third phase he marched on the second Aryavarta War.
arjunnani: enough ahhh or still needed
bachan82: u think that it will allow u 3 marks
arjunnani: Besides these main invasions Samudragupta also effected the invasion of Atavika or Forest Kingdoms. He also established diplomatic relations with the states situated in the frontiers of the Gupta empire and finally he exchanged political negotiations with distant foreign powers.
arjunnani: It is very interesting to note that most of the states which Samudragupta subjugated in the South were situated in the eastern part of the Peninsula and on the Malabar Coast. Samudragupta also wanted to get the benefit of the fabulous wealth of the Southern Kingdoms.
bachan82: that's great
arjunnani: hmm

Life:

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.


bachan82: is it conquest?
