Today we will read about Chandragupta II i.e. Vikramaditya (AD 375-415). The family of Vikramaditya will read about the status of the empire at the time of his throne, his marital life, the conquest of victory, the consequence of doubt victory, governance management, coins, religious status, social status, governance etc.

Name and family

Chandragupta II has been called by different names in his records. In the records of Saanchi, Devraj, Wakataka King Praversen II, Devgupta and some of his coins have been called Devshri. He had two daughters - Dhruv devi whose sons were Kumar Gupta and Govind Gupta and Kuberanaga whose daughter was Imtathi Gupta, who was married to Wakatak Raja Rudrasen II.

From Mathura, Bhitri Column and Aryan records, we know that his father Samudragupta had chosen Chandragupta Vikramaditya as the most deserving son of his many sons during his lifetime.

State of the Empire at the Time of A Sitting on the Throne

Samudragupta had established peace and order in his lifetime by establishing political unity in India, but the Western Satraps were still powerful. They also had a disturbance in the economic development of the empire, because all trade was done from overseas by the western seaboard.

Importance of marital relations

At this time two princes were powerful - Nagavansh and Vakataka. Due to the marriage of Vikramaditya from the Princess Kuberanaga of Nagavansha, this line was in favor of him. Chandragupta Vikramaditya increased his power by marrying his daughter, Imtasty, by Wakataka Raja Rudrasen II. The situation of the vakattas was such that their friendship could be a boon for the Gupta Empire and their enmity would be great trouble for him. With this marriage, Chandragupta had a great deal of doubt victory.

Doubt Victory

The most important event of the reign of Chandragupta II was victory over the suspicions of Western Malva and the Sudarashtra. Samudragupta had won the eastern Malwa in his reign. From there Vikramaditya prepared to attack the doubts. In the Udayagiri Vistas Record, it has been written that Chandragupta came there with his own foreign and war-minister Veersen Shaab. From the records of Udaygiri, it is known that in the Udaygiri there were the Sankanic Valiant Gupta Samanta. This victory also helped in the marriage of Wakatak kings. This victory probably happened between 388 AD and 409 AD because the coins received after 388 AD were not found and the coins of Chandragupta II, which were found around 409 AD, were written in Greek script and date is.

Results of doubt victory

Due to this victory the Gupta-empire extended from the Bay of Bengal to the Arabian Sea. The prosperity of the Gupta Empire increased due to the conquest of West by trade from the West. This part of India, on which foreigners were doing, was freed from them. The exchange of ideas from the Western countries started at a faster pace. Ujjayini was the center of a business, now also became prominent in religious and cultural events and became the second capital of the empire.

Other victories

There is an iron pillar near the Qutub Minar near Mehrauli near Delhi. This is the praise of a king named "Chandra". It has written that Chandra defeated the Union of his enemies in Bengal. The South Sea flavored with its viral and crossed the seven heads of the Indus and defeated the Flyers. Thus, by establishing the monarchy on earth, he ruled for a long time. Most scholars now believe that this is Chandra Chandra Gupta II. If this is correct, then Chandragupta Vikramaditya got his full authority on Bengal and defeated the foreign kings of the best West.

The government of Chandragupta Vikramaditya

Chandragupta was not only a skilled warrior but he was also a worthy ruler. Its governance will be described with a secret governance. Fahian also praised the rule of Chandragupta.

In his inscriptions, we have known the names of the five main officers -

• Sunakanik-Udayagiri records mention this Samanta of Chandragupta.
• Amarkavadav - the commander of Vikramaditya in Sanchi. He was a follower of Buddhism.
• Veersen Shab - Foreign and War Ministers She was Shaiv.
• Shikhar Swami - was minister and Kumarmauti.
• Maharaja Shri Govind Gupta - Rajkumar Govind Gupta was the governor of Tirabhuti (Tirhat).

Coins

Chandragupta used five types of coins. The coins on bow are on the one side of the eagle and on the other side is the shape of Lakshmi. On the one hand, on the coins of a lion, lions are slaughtered by the king and on the other is the shape of Singhwahini Durga. In this, the lion is possibly an indicator of Chandragupta's superlative victory. In addition, he also used coins, umbrella and horsebacked coins. The coins of Chandragupta II are similar to the coins of coins.

Fahian's description

In the time of Chandragupta II, a Chinese pilgrim named Fahian traveled to Buddhist shrines and came to India to collect Buddhist scriptures. He has written that 4,000 Heeenyan Buddhists lived in some cities such as Shaan-Shan and Kara There were more than ten thousand Mahayana Buddhists in the city called Khotan. Kashgar was also the center of the Hinayana Buddhists. There were 3,000 Heeenan and Mahayana Buddhists in Afghanistan.

Religious state of India

Within India, Fahian saw that there were many monasteries in Punjab, where there were about 10,000 monks. There were 20 monasteries in Mathura where 3,000 monks lived. There was more publicity of Brahmin religion in the middle of the country. There were people of philanthropic tendencies. The King, the rich and ordinary people, all build temples and donate land and houses. Some donors used to donate the garden too. Bulls were also used in donations that were used for farming. Gennadras were written.

The king who followed the rules of those donations also used to follow. For traveling monks, rooms were arranged for bed, food, and clothing. To honor the ancient monks like Sariputta, Moggalan, Anand, and to make Abhidhamma, Vinay and Sutta Pitta, people used to make monastery and many of them used to collect money to arrange for clothes etc. for the monks. Fahian has written that at that time other than Buddhist people, they used to make pious schools in which arrangements for lodging, bedding, food and drinks for travelers and monks were kept.

This was the arrangement for the stay of the people of all castes and religions. There were two monasteries in Pataliputra. In the monastery of the Mahayana sect, a famous Brahmin was reverted, which was the archaeologist of Buddhism.

Social Status

Fahian has written that in Madhya Pradesh no person kills any organism. The residents did not even drink alcohol. Garlic and onions were also not used. Chandal lived outside the city. People in this country did not keep pigs and hens. Neither did any animal sell, nor was there a butcher's shop, nor did the shops of liquor shops in the markets. Humans used to use cowards in business.

The government takes great care of the interest of the people. Farmers have to give one portion of their produce to the king. Corporal punishment is not given. Most offenses are only fined for crimes. The king's soldiers were given a fixed salary for the soldiers.
