Samudra Gupta

Samudra Gupta extended the boundaries of the Gupta empire considerably. The pillar
inscription at Allahabad provides a detailed account of his conquests. His military
campaigns ranged from Nepal in the North to modern Tamilnadu in the South, from
Assam in the East to the borders of present day Afghanistan in the West. The unification
of the greater part of the land was his major achievement. His coins portray him as a
patron of arts and one of his images is that of a Lute player.
