Solution
His Conquests: Samudra Gupta first defeated the rulers of northern India and annexed their dominions. They included the Nagas of Mathura, Padmavati (near Gwalior), and Ahicchetra (the region in the neighborhood of Bareli) and the ruling chiefs of western Uttar Pradesh and eastern India. He won victories over twelve rulers including those of Orissa, Andhra, and Tamil Nadu. He defeated these rulers but did not annex their kingdoms. He allowed them to rule as tributaries of the Gupta empire. The rulers of Bengal, Assam, Nepal, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh got impressed by his victories and submitted of their own free-will and agreed to pay tributes to him
