उत्तर
The most important historical source of information about Samudra Gupta is the Allahabad Pillar Inscription which was composed of Harisena. According to the inscription, Samudra Gupta was a great conqueror and he won a- series of wars in north and south India. He defeated as many as 9 rulers in northern India and 12 rulers in eastern Deccan and southern India. But Samudra Gupta did not want to gain permanent possession of his conquests in the south because he knew he could not control south India from his capital. He was happy with the tributes collected from the defeated princes of the south, bringing home large stores of treasure.
